Gary Wilhelm (Deceased)
Gary was loved by everyone!  You will need to help me with the total number of years that Gary was with Xerox, I know he was in the Louisville Branch in the early to mid 1970s but don't know the exact dates or the number of years.  Gary was the Administration Manager when I was with Xerox and he was a pleasure to work with.  He was a stickler on procedure and details and did an excellent job for Xerox.  He was always involved with the sales and service activities and events, his team were very involved and effective.  If you woul like to add your thoughts to this page, please click on comments below, your thoughts and comments are appreciated.

Jerry was born and raised in Big Stone Gap, VA. He was a loving father, devoted husband, and respected friend and businessman. He was a Deacon of the First Presbyterian Church, where he and his family have been members for almost 24 years. He served on the board of directors, and building and grounds committees of University School of Nashville and the Renewal House. Jerry was President and Chief Executive Officer of Andover Capital Group, a Nashville-based real estate development company, construction company and manufacturer of construction materials, currently building in Texas and the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Memorial contributions may be made to First Presbyterian Church Building Fund, 4815 Franklin Road, Nashville, 37220; or to Renewal House, P.O. Box 280356, Nashville, 37228.


Jerry was a wonderful friend to all of us during his Xerox days and after, when he was in the development business with NTS and STM here in Louisville before moving to Nashville.  He was very successful in everything he did personally and in business.  He will be missed!

John Falvey summed it up very nicely: Jerry and I stayed in contact after the Xerox days, he became very successful in a couple of business ventures in Nashville. Jerry had many friends and was very involved in the community and his church. His death was very unexpected which made his funeral service a very moving experience. As an example of how well Jerry was respected and the people he touched in his life, the famous Vince Gill sang at Jerry's funeral service.
