Jerry spent 30 years in the glass industry as small business owner of Jerry's Glass, co-owned Marcia's Hideout bar and grill, and eventually retired from the maintenance department at Thunderbolt School. Jerry spent his free time in the outdoors seeking adventure. Jerry could be found on top of the world after scaling half dome in Yosemite National Park or just hanging around repelling in the Hualapai Mountains of Arizona. Along with his best pals Tim, Gisele, Steve and Dave and fellow members of the Leaping Lizard Tribe, Jerry scaled Cupcake Mountain near Lake Havasu over 20 times to illuminate the mountain's ridge with flairs visible for miles.

Hostetter. Memorial services will be scheduled at a future time. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the American Diabetes Association or to VFW post 9401. |
