Post by: Poncho65 on October 11, 2019, 03:16:34 AM

Just heard of this on social media and thought it should be some news that we need to be told of here :salute:

From GerberGear's Instagram post :salute:

We are saddened to share the passing of our founder Pete Gerber. Our deepest condolences go out to Pete’s family and the many others whose lives were touched by him. His entrepreneurial spirit and tireless dedication to quality are embodied in our culture, and his legacy lives on in our brand today.

RIP Pete Gerber :salute:

Given that it was founded in 1939, I would have thought he was long gone.  He must have founded Gerber when he was very young.

He was 90 when he passed recently so he would have been 10 in 1939.
