Gerard ‘Gerry’ Dominick Scanzano

Jun 25, 2022

Gerard “Gerry” Dominick Scanzano died on Friday, June 17, 2022, at Community Hospice in Merrimack, New Hampshire, after a brief illness. He was born in Brooklyn, New York, on May 22, 1930, the son of Michael Scanzano and Rosalie (Citarella) Scanzano.

He served in the U.S. Army from 1950-1952. Despite his lack of formal education, he worked his way up to a successful career as a purchasing manager for a number of large and small companies, including Sperry, Lockheed, Dymographics and Itek. His second act in retirement was as a school bus driver for the Derry School District for almost 20 years, and he was proud to be recognized as the Special Education Bus Driver of the Year. He loved sports, especially the New York Yankees, and had seen Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and his hero, Joe DiMaggio, play at Yankee Stadium. He also had a passion for travel, and toured much of the United States, Canada, Europe and Central America, but his favorite place to visit always was New York City. Active in the New Hampshire Democratic Party, he volunteered on the Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton presidential campaigns, and also was a delegate to the New Hampshire Democratic State Convention. Most of all, he loved his family, friends and his community at the Hunt, who will dearly miss his boundless energy, Brooklyn stories and relentless teasing.

He is survived by his daughter, Susan Bureau, and son-in-law, Ed Bureau, of Bedford, New Hampshire; his daughter, Dianne Ledrew, and son-in-law, Pat Ledrew of Nashua, New Hampshire; his son, Thomas Scanzano, and daugher-in-law, Kacy Scanzano, of Chapin, South Carolina; his grandchildren, Hannah Bureau and husband, Ethan Parcel, of Chicago, Illinois; Michael Bureau and fiance, Kelly Smith, of Burlington, Vermont; Amy St. Louis of New Rochelle, New York; Maggie St. Louis of Nashua, New Hampshire; Nick Scanzano and wife, Gabby Scanzano, of Ft. Benning, Georgia; and Jessica Scanzano of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
