Jerry Douglas Goins Sr.

Jerry was a family man who was completely devoted to his wife, Mary, and their two children. He travelled the world in his textile career, eventually becoming the National Sales Manager for Universal Sewing Supply and Pfaff Pegasus. He was a faithful Shriner for over 45 years and had a love of aviation, tennis, golf, hunting, and the outdoors.
