While Toni Turner's obituary is a bit sparse, Gerry has not shied away from speaking publicly about his first wife, who passed away July 15, 2017. While chatting with Good Morning America, Gerry told the outlet it was "never too late to fall in love again."

ABC wasted no time in releasing Gerry's bio into the world. In it, we learn that he and Toni were high school sweethearts who married in 1974. Along with their two daughters Angie and Jenny, and later two granddaughters, Gerry and Toni had what some would describe as the perfect life. When Toni suddenly fell ill and died in 2017, Gerry was devastated.

It happened a mere six weeks after Toni retired. "She got robbed," said Gerry to GMA. "Every day that goes by, that's the thought I have." Six years later, the retired restaurateur who hails from Indiana is ready to start over. What Gerry brings to the table, other than hope and open heart, is a lovely house on a lake in Indiana where he loves to go four-wheeling and eat a good meal.
