Terry J. Geronimi

Terry was born on Dec. 6, 1953, in Iron Mountain, to Lois A. (Osby) and John A. “Jack” Geronimi. He graduated from Parker High School Janesville, Wis. in 1972. Terry went on to earn a degree in mechanical drafting from Moraine Park Technical Institute in Fond du Lac, Wis.

Terry will be remembered for his love of dogs, a green thumb that could bring any garden to life, his irreverent sense of humor, and his enduring passion for music. After moving to Georgia in the late 1970s, he and a friend ran a plant nursery by day and immersed themselves in the vibrant Athens music scene by night.

He is survived by his son, Ayrio Cronin; Ayrio’s mother, Diane Cronin; and Ayrio’s children, Laureli and Brooks Cronin. He also leaves behind his siblings, Joni Geronimi Cullen (Eric) and Jeanine Wirth, both of Janesville; Paul Geronimi of Van Buren, Mich.; his stepmother, Marlene Geronimi of Janesville; and many beloved nieces and nephews.

Terry was preceded in death by his parents, Lois and Jack.
