Jerry Vittori

Jerry Vittori passed away peacefully on February 10, 2018 at the age of 80. He came to Arizona from Illinois as a very young child with his parents and younger brother, but always considered himself a native Arizonan.

He was a 60 year member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 769 and a Millennium member of the NRA, both of which he was very proud.

Jerry was also a third generation blacksmith, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. This trade also included a career as a horse farrier through most of his adult life.

He enjoyed hunting with friends, fishing and camping with family, family get-togethers, riding rodeo broncs, shooting trap and sporting clays and playing poker with his shooting friends.

Jerry was a beloved son, brother, father, husband, co-worker and friend. His smile, humor and love will be greatly missed by all that knew him.
