LONG, JEROME ROY, 77
LONG, JEROME ROY, 77, passed away in the comfort of his family and loved ones on December 12 at Fletcher Allen Health Care. Born in Warren on July 28, 1935, he was the son of the late Roy and Mildred (Downer) Long. Jerome attended schools in Warren, and then as a young man went to work at his father's general store in Warren Village for many years. He later was employed for several years at the former Top Gas Station in Warren, before working at Hap's Service Station in Waitsfield, from which he retired. Jerome recently moved to Rockwall, Tex., where he lived with his niece and her husband, Melanie and Rick Lashua. He loved being in Texas because of the warm weather and the daily involvement with Melanie and Rick and their family. Jerome brought a smile to everyone who knew him. He is lovingly remembered for his love of baseball and the fun he had fishing, his gift of conversation, his outgoing personality and his strong opinions about most everything. Jerome is survived by four sisters, Gloria Currier, Polly Gallagher and Melba Long, all of Warren, and Glee Brooks, of North Ferrisburgh; as well as nieces, nephews and extended family. He was predeceased by a brother, Sidney Long.
