Gerald was born November 7, 1942 in Fremont to Walter and Lillie 'Katt' Hoegermeyer. He was raised on the family farm east of Winslow. He was baptized and confirmed at Immanuel Lutheran Church east of Winslow. He graduated from Hooper High School in 1960 and the University of Nebraska Agriculture College in 1964, then returned to the family farm. He continued to live on the farm until moving to Fremont in December of 2018. Gerald married Sharon Morgan on November 27, 1965 at First Christian Church in Fremont. While farming, Gerald served in the United States Army Reserve. As a lifetime member of Immanuel Lutheran Church he was very involved, holding many of the offices in the church.
