He was born on August 30, 1945, in Greenville, Ohio, to the late John and Juanita (Jessup) Ungericht.
Kerry was a 1963 graduate of Greenville High School. After he graduated from the Dayton Barber College, Kerry worked for The Hair Shack in Greenville with Kenny Bowman until he retired after 23 years of service.
Kerry loved cars and was known for his collection of Corvettes and Camaros. His love for cars made him a great fit for his part-time job at NAPA, where he currently worked. He liked to listen to country music and dancing with his wife, Linda. In fact, it was common for Kerry and Linda to be the highlight of the dance floor when they were dancing. He enjoyed all sports. From football to baseball to NASCAR and basketball, there was not a sport Kerry didn’t enjoy. He especially liked the Green Bay Packers and the Cincinnati Reds and watching Greenville athletics. Kerry was a member of the Sons of the American Legion, a lifetime member of the Eagles and Moose, and was a part of the VFW Boosters. He was also a member of the Greenville Masonic Lodge #143.
Kerry is survived by his wife of 55 years, Linda (Thompson) Ungericht, whom he married on July 31, 1965; his son, Berhane Belew and his wife, Teresa, of Greenville; his grandson, Daniel Belew, of Greenville; numerous nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews; and his beloved dog, Shaggy.
The family would like to thank the Comprehensive Health Network and the doctors and nurses at Family Health for their generous care they provided to Kerry.
