Gerry Turner<\/b><\/a> has lived a full life and created a family with his late wife, <\/span>Toni<\/span><\/a>, before making his debut as the leading man on <\/span>The Golden Bachelor<\/span><\/i><\/a>.<\/span> Fans are likely wondering about Gerry\u2019s family, including how many children he has and who his late wife was.<\/p>\n The ABC star married Toni, who was his high school sweetheart, in 1974.<\/p>\n Toni died in July 2017 after she became ill, according to her obituary. She and Gerry were living in Hudson, Indiana, at the time of her death, though they also lived in Iowa at one point during their 43-year marriage.<\/p>\n Gerry revealed he thinks Toni would approve of his stint as the Golden Bachelor while appearing on the September 17 episode of \u201cThe Bachelor Happy Hour\u201d podcast, which is cohosted by Bachelor in Paradise<\/span><\/i><\/a> season 7 couple <\/span>Joe Amabile<\/b><\/a> and <\/span>Serena Pitt<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI have a picture of her in my walk-in closet, so every night I\u2019m in there and I see her picture. It\u2019s the only one now that I have in the house and in the mornings, I see her picture and you know, we talk,\u201d he explained through tears. \u201cI\u2019ll make a brief comment \u2014 or sometimes that talk is silent. But here, lately, in the last couple of months, you know, my question for her is always, \u2018So what do you think of this? Am I doing the right thing?\u2019 And I really have strong positive feelings about it. I think she would be very happy.\u201d<\/p>\n Gerry continued to talk about their marriage in a teaser clip for the show, which was released in August.<\/p>\n \u201cWe had a real typical but full life. Full of love, full of love, full of activity,\u201d he shared. \u201cWe went to the emergency room, and she had a bacterial infection that infected her kidneys and infested her liver. And so, I took my wife to the emergency room on July 7, and she passed away on July 15. Now every time I look at [the lake outside my house] I go, \u2018This is her dream. This is what she deserves. Why am I standing here alone?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Gerry is the proud father to daughters Angie and Jenny.<\/p>\n Fans will likely get to know Gerry\u2019s kids during the Golden Bachelor<\/em><\/a>, while Angie praised him in a teaser clip.<\/p>\n \u201cMy dad is just such a fun guy, so personable and lovable,\u201d she told viewers. \u201cHe\u2019s so kind, and he has so much to give. He just deserves to find that in somebody else.\u201d<\/p>\n Not much is known about Jenny, who seems to value her privacy and set her Instagram<\/a> profile to private.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Angie works as the Vice President of Sales at a company called Assessments 24\u00d77, according to her LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n Not only is Gerry a parent, but he is also the grandfather to Jenny\u2019s daughters Charlee and Payton.<\/p>\n Before the show\u2019s premiere on September 28, Gerry told Variety<\/em><\/a> that his daughters and granddaughters are \u201cgenuinely excited and thrilled\u201d for him to find love. \u201cMy granddaughters have had guests to my house since this all started, and they pick their friends that are big fans of the show,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWho Is Gerry Turner\u2019s Late Wife?<\/h2>\n
