Gerard S. Mirabito Jr.

Gerard “Gerry” S. Mirabito Jr., 75 of Owasco, passed away suddenly Saturday, June 15, 2024. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend.

Gerry was born in Norwich, NY, the eldest son of Angelina and the late Gerard Mirabito Sr. He graduated from Port Byron High School where he proudly played football and wrestled. He met his wife, Pam, in Auburn where they would eventually build a house and have two children, Tim and Torrey.

Professionally, he owned and operated Finger Lakes Press in Auburn for many years, working alongside his dad, brothers Joe and Todd, and sister Billee. After transitioning out of the business, he went to work for Allegiant Airlines as a ramp agent helping charter flights for government contracts, sports teams, and other large groups. 

Gerry was, himself, a private pilot and a proud member of the Finger Lakes Area Pilots (FLAPs) club at Finger Lakes Regional Airport in Seneca Falls. He was a skilled aviator and held different leadership positions at the airport for many years. He also loved woodworking, traveling, tinkering with electronics, and spending time with family and friends.

He is survived by his loving family, his mother Angelina; wife Pamela Mirabito; son Timothy Mirabito (Allison); daughter Torrey Craven (Gareth); adoring granddaughters Emma Joy and Adeline; sisters Laurie Ann Trapagen (Joseph) and Billee Wilbur (David); brothers Joseph Mirabito (Debra) and Todd Mirabito (Lisa); and many nieces, nephews and cousins he cherished.
