He had been stationed onboard the USS Saratoga & at the Reserve Center in St Louis, MO, the Naval Air Station, REDCOM 18, in Olathe, KS and Recruiting Command DET TWO in Great Lakes, IL.

Jerry so enjoyed hunting, fishing and woodworking. He Loved his 25 years of retirement in the home he designed on 88 acres in Bland, MO. He always thought he was a 'country boy'.

Jerry and his wife, Leona (Lee) were married for 38 years and he always called her "the love of his life". They shared their home, in St Peters, MO with their "full of it" dog, Coco Chanel (and previously with their pups Lizzy & Cora).

Jerry was preceded in death by his Parents Harold & Irene (Montgomery) Reid and two brothers, Donald G Reid and Frank D Reid.

Jerry's family meant the world to him, his children: Kevin Reid (Mona Fredericks), Michele Gibbs & Kelly Misuraca. Grandchildren: Amanda Gibbs, Sarah Gibbs, Hannah Gibbs, Joseph Gibbs & Callie Sass, Nicole Carron (Ryan) & Nicholas Misuraca, Great Grandchildren: Kate & Gabe McNeely, Kollyns Carron & Palmer Gibbs. He will be missed as a great big-brother to Barbara (Denis) Feld and as a wonderful uncle, friend, mentor, role model & shipmate to many, but mostly as a loving husband, father & grandpa.

In lieu of flowers please make any donation to the American Lung Association or the Alzheimers Association.

We are comforted by knowing Jerry is now sharing some Great dry red wine in Heaven with previous buddies, friends & family.
