He attended night school, while working, to obtain his bachelor’s degree from Morris Harvey College, Charleston, WV. He worked as an Adjuster and Claims Manager for Nationwide Insurance for many years, until his retirement. He married Judy K. Houchins of Pipestem, WV in December 1965, and they spent 55 wonderful years together. He enjoyed all sorts of hunting, fishing, golfing, camping, gardening, watching sports, and the occasional Natural Light.
Jerry is survived by one sister, Sandra (Homer) Crews; daughter, Vicki McIntosh; son, Brian (Angie) Hurst; daughter, Melissa (David) Wright; five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
In addition to his wife and parents, he was preceded in death by an infant sister, Barbara; and a brother, Larry Farley.
