Jerome "Jerry" Kovac

KOVAC, Jerome “Jerry” passed away on February 10, 2016. Although he claimed not to be elderly, he was 87. Beloved husband of Marilee (nee Ginther) for 64 years. Loving father to Linda (Roger) Baltes, Jerry Jr., Peggy (Bill) Fisher, Doug (Donna), Christine, and Sharon (Jeff Hall). Sharon was also the favorite. Doting grandfather to Marc, Patrick, Doug Jr., Jamie, Michael, Abigail, Dominique, his buddy Danielle, Henry and Louis. Adored G-Pa/G-Daddy by Jack, Kylie, Zeke, McKinley, Lucas, Asa, and Owen

Jerry worked as an active member of Carpenter’s Union for 50 years, retiring at the age of 75. His children took great advantage of his skills. His annoying, good-natured pranks and his overall dorky ways will be missed. P.S. Sharon wrote this.
