Latest News About Homer George Gere

Here are the latest public updates I can share about Homer George Gere, based on recent reporting:

• Homer Gere, the father of actor Richard Gere, passed away at age 100 in March 2023 in North Salem, New York. He had previously celebrated his 100th birthday in May 2022 in North Syracuse, New York. These reports emphasize his role as a long-time community activist and volunteer, including work with North Area Meals on Wheels. [source coverage notes: Meaww and other outlets referencing his death and his community work; contemporaneous reporting confirms the age and place of death].[2][7]

• Richard Gere publicly mourned his father’s passing, with outlets noting that he had described his father as a “hero” and a formative influence, though Gere’s own public statements at the time were limited. The couple of outlets reporting Gere’s reaction focus on the personal impact of the loss rather than providing extensive quotations from Gere himself..[7][2]

• Regarding current status or health rumors about Richard Gere or his family: there is no credible, widely reported information indicating any ongoing health crisis for Richard Gere as of the latest coverage; multiple outlets in 2023 reaffirmed that Richard Gere was alive following earlier health rumors, but no recent official updates beyond that early 2023 period are part of the mainstream reporting I can verify here. If you need the most current status, I can look for newer, authoritative statements from reputable outlets..[1]
