Obituary of Jerry Lee Groover

At the age of 17, Jerry went into the Army where he earned his high school diploma. During his time serving our country, Jerry was deployed to Korea where he became a dog handler.

He was married to his childhood sweetheart, Susan, for over 59 wonderful years. Jerry's passions throughout his life were his family, his dogs, Lady and Stella, the Flyers, Eagles, and Phillies, bowling, and fishing. Jerry enjoyed many fly away vacations and road trips with his amazing children and unbelievable grandchildren. So much fun and laughter was had by all.
