September 22, 1953 - May 01, 2019
Enrico B. Pagliarulo, 65, of Philadelphia, passed away suddenly but peacefully on May 1, 2019. He will be greatly missed by his wife, Geri, his children, Rae (Rachel) and Rick (Enrico), and countless family members, friends, and colleagues.
Enrico - Rick, to all who knew him - grew up in the Port Richmond section of the city, graduating from North Catholic High School in 1970. After a car accident that sent him and his injured shoulder to a physical therapist’s office on Allegheny Avenue, he met the love of his life, then-receptionist Geri Inker - or as she was simply known in those days, Gypsy. Rick quickly became a mainstay in the Inker household, providing quippy Italian flavor to a secular Jewish family. Rick and Geri married in that very house in December 1979.
