Retired plastics manufacturing executive, chemist, and community activist Gerry Gunzburger died Thursday at his home in Hollywood, Florida. Gunzburger was the husband of County Commissioner Sue Gunzburger. He was 77 years old.Gunzburger was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1931. He came from a family of very cosmopolitan assimilated Jews – a family which had lived in Germany for hundreds of years. As the Nazi threats against the Jews grew, Gunzburger and his parents wisely fled Germany in late 1936. His grandmother and aunt, who opted instead to stay in Berlin, both perished in the Holocaust.
