Gerald Bardouche

Gerald J Bardouche, 94, of Little Suamico, WI passed away peacefully on 5/21/2026 with loved ones at his side. Gerald was born on July 20, 1931 to Joseph and Dorothy (nee Saunders) in Green Bay, WI. On August 29, 1959 he married the love of his life Eileen Davis at the United Methodist Church in Suring, WI.

After graduating from East High School in Green Bay he joined the US Navy and served on the USS Oriskany during the Korean War. Gerald attended UW Stevens Point and later taught Physics and Chemistry at Algoma and Ashwaubenon High Schools where he was dubbed the ‘Greatest teacher ever’ due to his humor and love for teaching.

Gerald is survived by his loving wife, Eileen; four daughters and their spouses: Susan & Michael Sparrow, Lynn & Ron Devroy, Ann & Joe LaCount, and Beth Barduouche & Kathy Crandall; seven grandchildren: Brian (Andrew) Sparrow, Sarah (Lucas) Yogerst, Nathan (Allison) Devroy, Russell (Amber Dzierzanowski) Devroy, Samantha (Joseph) Butterfield, Andrew (Emily) LaCount, and Lindsay (Paul) Ullmer; and ten great-grandchildren: Chase & Zoey Yogerst, Ronald & Franklin Devroy, Rocco Devroy, Finley & Clifford Butterfield, and Chloe, Tate & Elena Ullmer.

Gerald will be remembered as a fast witted guy who never knew a stranger, a family man whose contagious smile usually meant he was up to no good, a daring pilot who loved flying above his farm in his ultralight plane, and a loving grandpa who always had a little one on his 4-wheeler.

A Celebration of Life will be held at ‘Uncle Jerry’s Farm’ (1405 County J) on Saturday July 18th, 2026 at 2pm.
