Jerp worked and retired from Penn Dot after 25 years of loyal and devoted service. He attended the First United Methodist Church in Renovo and S. Renovo Methodist Sunday School faithfully for many years.

Jerp also enjoyed hunting, but most of all, he enjoyed helping people, in any way, shape, or form\emdash he will be sadly missed by all who knew him. May you rest in peace, Jerp.
