Garry Gergich, also known as Jerry, Barry, Larry or Terry, is a fictional character in the comedy television series Parks and Recreation, portrayed by Jim O'Heir.

Garry Gergich, born February 29, 1948 (as mentioned in the season 4 episode "Sweet Sixteen"), is a longstanding employee of the Department of Parks and Recreation who is nearing retirement and is a married father of three girls.

He is often the butt of jokes and is regularly mocked by his co-workers,[2][3] with his most frequent detractors being Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari) and April Ludgate (Aubrey Plaza).

Following a government-wide health screening of male employees in the episode "I'm Leslie Knope", Dr. Harris (Cooper Thornton) reveals to the camera that Jerry possesses the largest penis he has ever seen.

In "Ron and Diane", after mentioning an annual tradition they take part in called "Jerry Dinner" where they all dine at a fancy restaurant, funds risen from each of them contributing money each time Jerry does something embarrassing; April, Donna, Tom and Andy realize they have not been invited to the Gergiches' Christmas party.

At the end of season 6, Leslie hires Jerry (then called Larry) as part of her National Park Service administration team.

[7] Jerry also appears to be a talented engineer, having developed a clean renewable power source which he presents in "Second Chunce" but then accidentally destroys by sneezing on it.

[9] His happy home life, stunningly attractive wife Gayle (Christie Brinkley), and three daughters bemuse his co-workers who only know him from the office.

One of Jerry's daughters, Millicent (Sarah Wright), dates Chris Traeger (Rob Lowe) for much of season 4.

In the flash forwards in the final episode it is shown that Mayor Gergich is repeatedly reelected in earnest, serving ten terms.

These flash forwards show that Garry dies on his 100th birthday, after celebrating with several generations of his family and toasting a perfect life.

He is buried with much ceremony, attended by possibly the President of the United States (Ben and Leslie are flanked by what appear to be Secret Service agents), but his name is misspelled "Girgich" on his gravestone.
