Jerry was born January 16, 1948 in Columbia to Arthur (Tooter) and Lorene Ott Stone. He married his sweetheart Phyllis Proctor, who survives, on June 15, 1968 in Columbia. Jerry worked on their farm several years until they moved to town where he worked at the Post Office and got his Real-estate license. He loved being a Realtor. But most of all, he loved his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Going to their ball games, school functions, and just hanging out. He was an avid golfer, which his son and two grandsons enjoyed with him. His youngest grandson was his “Little Buddy” and they golfed together for the last several years. He had tea parties with “His Girls” and watched them become young ladies.

Jerry was a member of Eagles Aerie 2730, Elks Lodge # 919, and the Three Dollar Golf Club. He was a great outdoorsman and he enjoyed hunting and fishing with his family. He loved music and played the guitar in the Medallion Band for several years. Later he would join in sessions with friends and play at the VFW and Eagles.

Jerry attended Harrisburg Schools and graduated with honors from the University of Missouri.

Survivors include daughter, Deena Sharp (Robert) and son Ryan Stone; four grandchildren, Damien, Blake, Gabriel, and Raylan; and three great grandchildren, Kloe, Lillie Stone, and Aiyanna Goff.

Donations in Jerry's memory may be made to the American Heart Association in care of the funeral home.
