Jerome was a proud veteran of the U.S. Army, serving as a tank driver where he drove a tank up the Audubon from Austria to Germany during the Korean War. After returning home, he worked for many years at Crucible Steel Mill until his retirement, later continuing part-time work at St. Christine’s Church, where he managed maintenance and groundskeeping. He was deeply involved in his community. He was a member of the American Legion, an usher and council member at St. Christine’s Parish, a volunteer fireman with the Industry Fire Department, and a current member of Our Lady of the Valley Parish, Saints Peter and Paul Church. He had many passions that brought color and joy to his life. He loved listening to or watching his Pittsburgh Pirates, Steelers, and Penguins. He was a wonderful cook and he had a legendary love for cookies and milkshakes. He was also a gifted handyman who helped all of his children with remodeling projects through the years, always happy to lend a hand or teach a skill. He was also the most devoted Papa, treasuring every moment spent with his grandchildren and great‑grandchildren. For the past 30 years, he and his wife shared a deep love of travel, exploring countless destinations together and creating cherished memories along the way. His warmth, generosity, steady presence, and sense of humor will be deeply missed by all who were blessed to know him.
