Online Obituary

acoby Gerald (Jerry) E. Jacoby left this world, surrounded by family, on May 24, 2016 at Mt. Carmel St. Ann's Hospital. Born August 30, 1930 in Toledo, Ohio to Isabel (Jones) and Byron K. (Jake) Jacoby, he was the beloved husband, best friend and business partner to Mary, his wife of nearly 61 years. Together, they built a family, a home and their faith, also founding and operating the former Westerville Interiors furniture store in Uptown Westerville for 28 years. A friend to all he knew, Jerry lived in Westerville nearly his whole life. His greatest love was his family; but he also loved his town, being around people, creating beauty in their homes and had many stories to share with anyone who would listen. Jerry was preceded in death by Mary, his parents, younger brother Thomas H. Jacoby and sister-in-law Lucy Jacoby. He was the "bestest Dad" to Janet (Todd) Walko, Kari (Ed) Schneider) and Robert (Kathy) Jacoby; loving "PaPa" to grandchildren, Jack Fleming, Kacy Walko (Michael Stoner), Michael Walko, Luke Luthi, Nicholas (Laura) Jacoby, Kelli (Kyle) Fitzpatrick, Natasha Schneider; and great-grandchildren, Camilla Jacoby, Coen Stoner, Declan Fitzpatrick and Jacob Stoner. He is survived by them, along with his older brother, Byron H. (Sam) Jacoby of Dayton; brothers-in-law, Richard Longhenry and Hal Ranney; sister-in-law, Margay (Ralph) Smith; extended family and friends. Visitation will be from 5-7 p.m. Tuesday, May 31, 2016, followed by a 7 p.m. service officiated by Dr. Richard Ellsworth at MORELAND FUNERAL HOME, 55 E. Schrock Road, Westerville, Ohio 43081. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Central College Presbyterian Church, http://ccpc.us/index.php/about-us/giving, 975 S. Sunbury Rd, Westerville, OH 43081. Private burial at Blendon Central Cemetery. The family is extremely grateful for all the loving care given our dad by his friends at Feridean Commons Assisted Living.
