Jerrol Alden Reed passed away Sunday, February 24, 2013 at St. Luke’s Hospital.
Born in Bedford, Indiana, Jerry, as he was known to his friends, lived in Perrysburg for the past 30 years, retiring there after returning to the Toledo area from Philadelphia, where he worked as manager of Universal Carloading Company, a division of US Freight.
He was preceded by his wife, Julia Dziugas Reed, who died in 1994. Both were avid ballroom dancers, having met at the Willow Springs Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois in 1939, during the era of the big bands. They maintained their love of dancing throughout their lives, taking star turns on the dance floor at their retirement community in New Port Richey, Florida.
The couple were lifetime members of Riverby Golf Club, where Jerry continued to play golf and cards with his friends until last year. An ardent sportsman, he represented his age group at national tournaments of the Senior Olympics.
