Gerry was born November 7, 1945, in Warren, Oklahoma. He grew up on his family farm and graduated from Navajo High School in 1964. He was inducted into the U.S. Army February 10, 1966, and served in the 3rd Armored Division at Gilhausen, Germany, where he played baseball for the Army at different bases across Germany. He was honorably discharged January 24, 1968, and not long after began working for Halliburton in the oil fields.
