Dave and Nancy Gerber (Russell)

Marital status: Married
Children: 2
Occupation: Engineer
Comment:  



We have worked at the same engineering consulting company for over 25 years and don’t plan to retire any time soon because we love our work and the people we work with. The year 2010 was a year of celebration (our 40th Anniversary and trip to Prague) as well as profound loss. Our daughter, Kristin, died at the age of 35 from congestive heart failure. Though we knew from birth that she had this challenge, she lived a full and happy life until her passing. She left behind her husband, Jake, and two precious grandsons who fill our lives with such fun, happiness and gratitude to her. Our daughter, Katie, continues to enjoy working as a Wine Marketing Manager and lives in the City while commuting to Napa. Dave still loves cars and working in our beautiful yard and I enjoy entertaining in our home and spending time with our grandsons whenever we can. We are so thankful to God for our blessings and his loving support during the hard times.
