years of 1950-1951.

Jerry was an employee of Mobil Chemical for thirty-seven years. He
was an avid golfer, making 3 holes-in-one at Bayou Din, a champion
fisherman, and a daily walker.  His walk around the neighborhood, 
carrying his golf club, was a familiar sight. He was a devoted family 
man who wanted to take care of all.

Billye (RHS-1950); three daughters and sons-in-law, Beverly and 
Pete Kohler of Lumberton, Jerrie and Tommy Witterstaeter of 
Mauriceville, and Betty and Bruce Poland of Suisun, CA; six 
grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; his sister and brother-in-law,
Pat and Bill Atwood of Graham, TX; and a brother, Jack Whitt of 
Albuquerque, NM.

As one close friend said, “We are all better for knowing Jerry.” 
He put up a gallant fight.  Information from Pat Williams Cole
