Gerry A. Layton, of Middleburgh, passed away peacefully on December 24, 2025.

He was born 71 years ago on April 8, 1954 in Hazen, North Dakota, one of 10 siblings, to Ethel (Skager) and Arnold Layton and graduated from Middleburgh Central School in 1972.

Gerry worked in construction at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania, also at Skinner Chevrolet in Middleburgh and most recently at Rensselaerville Body Shop.  A talented craftsman, Gerry especially enjoyed working with wood, building cabinets, several of which are in his own home.

He also enjoyed repairing small engines and finding treasures at local flea markets.
