The Somerville News Person of the Week – March 21

On March 21, 2012, in Latest News, by The Somerville Times

Meet Gerry Flemming, a lifelong resident of Somerville, and a great guy with a sense of humor that never stops. Gerry is married to his long time friend  Mary and has two children all raised here in the ‘Ville. Gerry is a political wizard of sorts. A behind the scenes type of person, and has been involved in many local political campaigns and statewide races as well. A lifelong Democrat and loyal to the party, he’s been to every Democratic convention probably since he was old enough to vote. Gerry was the owner of the first Irish Pub here in the city before it was fashionable to have an Irish Pub, “The Blarney Stone” in Davis Sq. located in the basement of the old Wood bridge Inn. There were lines out the door and around the corner, with people waiting sometimes in the rain to get in to see his live bands and entertainment. Even better if you knew Gerry – and who doesn’t know him? – you should get to meet him. Gerry is kind and generous and still works at his job at the Sectary of State’s office. A man with a sense of humor, he is a good loyal friend to many old time residents and new residents alike. Say “Hi” to him on the T on his way to and from work.
