Gerald died at his home surrounded by his wife and children.

Mr. McGovern was an accountant with Merrill Lynch for 25 years in both New York city and Plainsboro, N.J. He graduated from LaSalle University in Philadelphia.

He was a U.S. Army veteran serving in Vietnam and an Honor Guard volunteer at the Washington Crossing National Cemetery.
