Jerry's passion was farming, taking over when his dad passed and continuing until this spring with help from his kids. Having family around was an important part of Jerry's life. He resided in town and often stated that if he lived on the farm, he wouldn't have anywhere to go.
He also worked construction, and later was a grain inspector for Peoria Grain Inspection & then Kankakee Grain Inspection.

Also surviving are two brothers, Scott (Nancy) Mooberry of Lacon, Ron (Holly) Mooberry of Henry; four sisters Elizabeth Allen, Mary (Gary) Beall, Linda Mooberry & Janet Mooberry, all of Lacon; and many nieces & nephews.

So sad to just hear Jerry passed. Worked with him for years , and also shared a few beers, when he was with the board of trade. Loved his stories of the old days in and around Lacon. Great smile. Great laugh. Great friend. He will truly be missed. Deepest sympathy to his family. Not many good old guys like Jerry left.
