He was born February 29, 1940, in St. Marys, the son of the late Francis and Agnes Meyer Schreiber.
Gerry was a graduate of St. Marys Area High School, class of 1958 and was the Salutatorian of his class. He then took his knowledge to Penn State where he graduated in 1962 with an engineering degree.

His work took him across the globe, including several meaningful years living in Morocco, where he embraced new cultures and experiences with an open mind. Beyond his professional life, Gerry was a devoted and enthusiastic Penn State fan, rarely missing a chance to cheer on his team. Gerry will be remembered for his intellect, his steady presence, and the deep appreciation he had for both his work and the world around him.
