Gerald Yagmin Obituary YAGMIN, Gerald "Jerry" 56, went to be with our Lord on Oct. 31, 2009, after a courageous battle with esophageal cancer. Jerry wanted everyone to know that if you have acid reflux, see your doctor. Jerry was born on Aug. 26, 1953, in Melbourne, FL. Graduated from Northeast High in 1972, and retired from GTE, now Verizon after 28 years. He then started a career as the owner of several Bargain Basement stores. Jerry is survived by his loving family including his wife of 35 years, Sue (Davies); son, Jared, parents, Eva and Frank; brother Michael; sisters, Barbara Genevie and Mary (Jim) Mateer; in-laws, Esther and Idris Davies, Dennis (Connie) Martinson and Tom (Margarete) Davies, and numerous nieces and nephews. Jerry loved fishing and diving with his best bud, Jared, and enjoyed hunting and spending time with our dear friends at the cabin in the woods. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Northeast Presbyterian Church, Hospice of the Florida Suncoast or the SPCA. The family also would like to extend our thanks for all of the love and support from Dr. Mace and the wonderful nurses and staff at Gulf Coast Oncology. A Celebration of Life will be held at Northeast Presbyterian Church, 4400 Shore Acres Blvd. N.E., St. Petersburg, Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009, at 11 am. R.
