Jerry graduated from Bosse High School in 1950 and Lain Tech with a degree in Engineering. He served in the US Army for two years during the Korean War. Upon his return from the war, Jerry went on a blind date with his future wife, Shirley, and they were married February 9, 1957. Three months after they were married, he accepted a job in Toledo, OH with Surface Combustion which became Midland-Ross Corporation. Jerry and Shirley moved to Florida where he worked for the Dept. of Transportation in the Cape Coral area as a Civil Engineer. He retired in 1991. Jerry and his wife enjoyed boating on the weekends with friends and also traveling to Europe, Hawaii and the islands around Florida.
He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Shirley Dian (Sandefur) Kissel; brother, Sam (Janet) Kissel; nephews, Daniel (Hilary) Kissel and Rick (Chris) Kissel; great nieces and nephews, Sutton Kissel, Julia Kissel and Jackson Kissel; and his furry friend, Jazzy.
