Mission at Nuremberg (55 page)

In 1961, Gerecke had a heart attack in the Menard prison parking lot on his way into the prison. He drove himself home, but died later that day in Chester's hospital. He was sixty-eight years old. The cross on top of St. John Lutheran School in Chester is named in his honor.
