Gerald M. Vargason Sr., age 86, of North St., Wyalusing, PA, passed away on Sunday, January 1, 2023, at his home with his loving family at his side.

          Gerald was born at home, on August 20, 1936, in Terry Township, Bradford Co., PA, a son of the late Harry W. and Clara Marcy Vargason.  He was a lifelong farmer and he drove bus #16 for the Wyalusing School District as a continuation after his father retired.  He married the former Libby Chilson on August 17, 1985, and they celebrated their 37^th wedding anniversary last August.
