Jerry C. Gold

September 14, 1939 — November 26, 2024

New Castle

Jerry C. Gold, 85, of New Castle passed away on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. Jerry was born on September 14, 1939, to the late Charles William and Henrietta (Adams) Gold. He was a beloved figure in the community and will be missed deeply by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Jerry was born and raised in the Westwood area and could often be found getting into mischief with his brother Bill and close friend, Melvin Stults. He dedicated over 50 years of his life to Dudley's Hardware, where he was not just an employee but a familiar face to countless customers. Many will remember him spending hours each day drinking coffee, eating popcorn, and sharing good conversations, becoming friends to everyone who entered the store. Jerry was a proud member of the American Legion and the Eagles. Jerry enjoyed spending time outdoors gardening and farming, camping, watching races at Mt. Lawn and Anderson Speedway, riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle, and leisurely boating on his pontoon. He was an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers and Elvis Presley. Above all, family was Jerry's greatest treasure. He cherished his loved ones, especially his grandchildren. He never knew a stranger, always willing to engage in conversation and share a smile.

Jerry is survived by his loving wife of 65 years, Laura Jean McGary Gold; children Tenisa “Terry” (Joe) Pyle, and Rick Gold; grandchildren, Amy (Rob) Greenway, Jessica Gold (Josh Henderson), Heather Lynn (Kyle) Cook, Cole (Emma) Smith, Christopher Gold, Rosie Smith, Bradley Pyle (Brittany Dominick), April Gaston, Maddy Gold; great grandchildren, Jadelynn, Ryland, Faith, Lyla, Hadley, Veda, and one on the way; brother, William “Bill” Gold; several nieces and nephews and his dogs, Daisy and Pepper.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his best friends, Don Sampley and Bruce Dudley.
