SAGER, Jerry N.

The Daily Courier, Prescott, Arizona Sunday, November 26, 2017, page 8a Jerry passed away suddenly at the age of 90 with his family in Morgantown, West Virginia. He was born in Rochester, New York, to Georgianna and William Sager of Sea Breeze, New York. A Naval veteran of WWII, Jerry served on a destroyer based out of Miami Beach, Florida, and was honorably discharged in 1946. A graduate of Franklin High School in Rochester in 1948, he married Joyce Stearns. Jerry was employed by WHEC TV and WXXI TV and later worked as an electronic technician for Eastman Kodak in Rochester until his retirement. A love for the desert Southwest compelled Jerry to reside in Prescott, Arizona, for 25 years where he continued his avid participation in amateur radio (KA1BAB). Jerry called Prescott “paradise” and thoroughly enjoyed showing relatives and friends Arizona. He was a member of the American Radio Relay League, the Yavapai Amateur Radio Club, the Arizona Bighorn Sheep Society and several other organizations. A stalwart and devoted husband, father and friend, Jerry is survived by three children: Mark Sager (Tracey) of Dansville, New York, Susan Baer (Michael) of Churchville, New York, and Jack Sager (Renee) of Morgantown, West Virginia; five grandchildren, Lindsay, Jenna, Ashley, Conrad, and Cassie. His wife Joyce of 33 years and his brother, Jack, of Riverside, California, preceded Jerry in death.
