Gerald "Nip" Flockerzi

     Gerald “Nip” Flockerzi, age 70 of Venus, passed away after a sudden illness, at his home on Sunday, January 25, 2026.

     Born May 31, 1955 in Oil City, he was a son of the late Russell Flockerzi and Geraldine Sharrar Flockerzi.

     He attended the Cranberry schools.

     Gerald will be remembered by his family as liking old Mopars, being jolly, and always generous, giving to many charities.

     He enjoyed his dogs, Rocky and Pepples, taking Pebbles for car rides to see the neighborhood cows so that she could bark at them, and always getting her a burger to enjoy on their ride.

    Gerald also enjoyed going weekly to Friday fish dinners at Montana’s with his nephew, Thomas “Tim” Delp, and weekly talks and visits with his good friends, Ron and Diana Lineman.

     Survivors include his son, Joshua Flockerzi and partner, Maggie Ochs, and their children: Nicole, Dawson and Devin Flockerzi, and Lalie Ochs, of Lucinda; siblings: Mary Kay (Garry Wilson) McFadden of Oil City, Cheryl Ann Delp of Venus and Bruce (Sue) Flockerzi of Oil City; sister-in-law, Sarah Flockerzi of Oil City, and numerous nieces and nephews.

     In addition to his parents, Gerald was preceded in death by a sister, Jean Suter and husband Roger, and brothers, Gary Flockerzi and David Flockerzi and wife Sheila.

     Private family services will be held at 11 a.m., Wednesday, February 4, 2026 at the Faller/Rupert Funeral Home and Cremation Service, 19200 Route 208, Fryburg.

     In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial contributions be given in the name of Gerald “Nip” Flockerzi to a charity of one’s choice.

    Interment will follow in the Heckathorn Cemetery.
