Jerry retired from the Pataskala Street Department after 35 years of service. Jerry held weekly council meetings with his friends every Thursday in the barn, discussing important issues, especially how best to grow his famous sweet corn. He loved to work on various projects in his barn, spend time outside, having porch time with his wife and kids and grew a renowned garden every year. Jerry was one of the hardest workers around and had one of the biggest hearts, instilling these values in his family. He was a wonderful husband, father, and Papaw and will be greatly missed by all.
