R. Bruce Gerhard, husband of the late Shirley Gerhard of Spring City , went home to be with the Lord on Monday 13, 2023. Bruce was the son of the late Robert and Nettie Gerhard. He grew up in Betzwood and the King of Prussia area, and was a graduate of Upper Merion High School, and after serving in the United States Army, had lived his adult life in Spring City.
