Jerome A. Barbary

Jerome honorably served our country during World War II where he fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Jerome received his Purple Heart award when he was shot and carried a fellow soldier for 8 hours until they received help. After his tour in the military, Jerome worked for A&P Grocery as a meat cutter for 32 years. He enjoyed making his own sausage and wine. Jerome also enjoyed pheasant hunting, was an avid dog lover, and loved spending time with his grandkids, great-grandkids, nieces, and nephews.
