Gerald Henry Quilici ’70 was born at Palo Alto Hospital on June 29, 1948, to Henry and Bruna Quilici. He spent his childhood years in Mountain View, attending St. Joseph’s Catholic School and St. Francis High School. He graduated from SCU with a B.S. in mechanical engineering. Jerry became a registered civil engineer and worked for the County of Santa Clara, primarily in the Land Development Engineering Department, for 34 years. Following his retirement in 2004, he changed careers and worked as a tax preparer for McFarlane, Cazale & Associates and for Petersen & Associates. Jerry met his wife, Louanne Bergna, while she was working in the County Planning Department, and they married at Mission Santa Clara in 1979. Jerry was active in dog training and obedience trials for over 20 years and was a member of the Standard Schnauzer Club of Northern California. He enjoyed playing softball and golf and was an avid follower of the SF Giants, SF 49ers, and Golden State Warriors. He and Louanne enjoyed traveling—and whenever they were in a city with an MLB team, they would take in a game, sometimes even touring the ballpark. Jerry was able to go to spring training in Scottsdale, Arizona, in 2016. Jerry was happiest when he was with his family and friends, drinking a Manhattan. Jerry passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on June 7. After successfully battling brain cancer (CNS Lymphoma) three times since 2011, Jerry succumbed to complications of pneumonia. He remained a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather through the end. Jerry is survived by Louanne Quilici, his loving wife of 37 years; daughters Lauren Quilici (Travis Hinkle) and Tessa (Justin) Parks; grandsons “JJ” Parks and Conrad Hinkle; mother Bruna Quilici; and sister Judy (Steve) Ehrat. He is predeceased by his father, Henry Joseph Quilici.
