Publish in a newspaper
It was during his time in the military he met his beloved wife of 58 years, June Franklin with whom he had three children - Joseph (Canton, PA), Jefferey (formerly of Canton, PA), and Jeannine (Asheville, NC).
After returning from the military, Jerome took over the family business - Wynne's Garage in Gleason, where he sold and repaired farm machinery, and Wynne's Transportation - where he was a bus driver for Canton Area School District for 60 years.
Jerome was a lifelong member of St. Michael's Catholic Church, where he served as an Altar Boy, an Usher, and on various committees. He was a nearly 57-year member of Canton Lions Club, where he was a Past-President. He was a proud recipient of the Melvin Jones Fellow for Dedicated Service to the Canton Lions Club. An outdoorsman and avid sports fan, he enjoyed hunting (he was a lifetime member of Mountain Run Hunting Club) and watching sports (he was a sponsor of the Ogdensburg Little League). Jerome was also a member of the American Legion.
Along with his wife and children, Jerome leaves behind a sister - Marie Merker of Leroy, PA; and many nieces, nephews, in-laws, numerous friends and "adopted family". He was predeceased by his parents, his sister Anne and his son Jefferey.
Calling hours will be 1 to 3 p.m. and 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, October 3, 2025, at Pepper Funeral Home and Cremation Facility, 578 Springbrook Drive in Canton.
