The Bakersfield Californian 
Reynolds, Gerald Ray "Pork"     
1918 - 2005 
 
Gerald Ray Reynolds "Pork" 
January 14, 1918 - May 24, 2005 

He was born January 14, 1918, in Huntington, Indiana, and went home to be with 
the Lord on May 24, 2005. Pork always said he was a stump jumper from the 
hills of Indiana. He graduated from Ann Arbor High School, in Michigan, in 
1934, and from the University of Michigan Management Training School. During 
the Big War, WWII, he worked in the Bomber Plant in Willow Run, Michigan. He 
then entered the automobile industry. That industry brought him to Bakersfield 
in 1963. In 1971, he joined his son, Gaius, in Reynolds Trophy Shop, and 
retired from there in 1983. He was active in many community organizations and 
a Lifer with the Bakersfield Breakfast Lions. His love of over 67 years, Peg, 
preceded him in joining the Lord, on May 15, 2005. Their goal was to be 
together forever. They made it! Pork is survived by a daughter, Pam Bradford; 
sons, Gaius and his wife, Sue, and Russ and his wife, Karen; grandchildren, 
Kim Saffeels, Jodi Estrada, Alycia Carmin, George Reynolds, Briana Reynolds, 
and Jennifer Reynolds; great grandchildren, Whitney and Kylee Saffeels, Jake, 
Kordell, and Colby Carmin, and Emma and Grayden (Bobo) Reynolds. Dad always 
put the Lord first, his wife and family next, and then, as he put it, the 
world, work and such. Dad wanted to thank all their friends who were always 
there for them. Over 40 years of treasured friendships. He Says, Adios To His 
Amigos! Services will be held Saturday, May 28, 2005, at 1 p.m. at Kern City 
Community Church, 1003 Pebble Beach Dr. in Kern City. In lieu of flowers, 
contributions may be made to Fellowship of Christian Firefighters, PO Box 901, 
Fort Collins, Colorado, 80522-0901. The family would like to thank Odyssey 
Hospice.
