In the introduction to In Pursuit of His Glory, one of the books Gerald authored as “a quest to know the power and presence of God,” prominent charismatic pastor Jack Hayford wrote, “Gerry Fry is a dear man with a heart for God and a heart for people.”

Gerald’s other book, Finding Freedom, is described as “a journey to walk in the Spirit-controlled life.”

In their retirement, Gerald and his wife, Peggy, founded Mount Hermon Ministries, “a ministry dedicated to equipping, training and bringing restoration to local churches and church leadership.”

Gerald Fry leaves behind his wife, Peggy; his son, Steven Fry (Nancy); and his daughters Shannon (Mike) and Candace (Steve) and six grandchildren. Memorial arrangements have not yet been announced.
