Gerald Andrew Irvine (1958-2023)
It is my sad duty to inform the many who know him that Gerald Andrew Irvine passed away today in Nashville, TN. Jerry, as he was known to his many friends and associates, was a long-time fixture in the field of rocketry. He is pictured at right in the accompanying photo taken at Lucerne Dry Lake, California in July 2022. Jerry was a successful innovator, inventor, entrepreneur, and businessman of some repute. Jerry and I first met circa 1970 as members of the Claremont Rocket Society and the NAR Polaris Section headquartered in Claremont, California. Throughout his life, Jerry was ever a fount of new ideas, always driven to succeed, and sometimes controversial. Less publicly-known is the fact that Jerry was quite generous and had a very kind heart. Indeed, he quitely provided financial assistance to a number of less fortunate individuals. Jerry suffered from declining health in recent years, but continued to soldier on nonetheless. I will truly miss him and his loyal friendship. Till we meet again My Friend!
