Jerry is survived by six nieces and two nephews. 

Jerry served in the Army between 1964 and 1970.  He worked at Raeford Turkey Plant and Unilever in the past.    He walked many a mile around Raeford and was a stranger to no one.  He loved going to Hardee’s, visiting with people, and telling stories about his past.  He was always ready to tell a joke or story.   He spent his last years living at Open Arms Retirement Center.  He will be missed greatly by his family, but we all know he is happy to be reunited with them in Heaven now.

A visitation will be held from 3-4 pm on Sunday, July 30th at Crumpler Funeral Home in Raeford.
