Jerry Emiling Obituary
A 1961 graduate of Strong Vincent High School, he attended Alliance College prior to enlisting in the PA National Guard. Subsequent to his father's death in 1965, he assumed management of Jerry Emling's Antlers Restaurant and Catering Service.

An avid boater and hunter, Jerry was a lifelong member of the Erie Yacht Club and served for 27 years on the Board of The Northwest PA Duck Hunters Association. He was the proud owner of several Triumph show cars, a member of Scions of Britain Car Club, and the recipient of multiple awards during the last 12 years.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his Flanagan aunts and uncles.
