Michael Gerald ''Jerry'' O'Neil, who was named president of General Tire in 1960 at age 38, had made his home in a gated community in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., for more than a decade, but never fully left Akron. Mr. O'Neil, who was 87, still maintained the family home on the west side of Akron, where he died shortly after 3 p.m.
