Jerry Tarquinto

Jerry Tarquinto, born May 3, 1945, passed away peacefully on Thursday, August 30, 2018 in his home, after a courageous battle with cancer. Born in Sarah Ann, West Virginia to Joseph and Hattie Tarquinto, he lived most of his adult life in South Toledo. Jerry was an extremely loving father to his three sons, Jeffrey, of Clearwater, FL, Jody (Nancy), of Flat Rock, MI, and John (Elizabeth), of Plymouth, MI. He was a beloved grandfather to Tyler, Sophia, Ryan, Dominic, Gracie and Noah. In addition to his children and grandchildren, Jerry is also survived by his dear sister, Delores (Dave) Price, devoted brother Joseph (Janie) Tarquinto, his friend and former wife, Sue (Jim) Mizerny, as well as, many loving nieces, nephews and close friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, and his nieces, Diane Price, Kathy (Price) Jarzeboski and Trisha Rober. Jerry loved to golf, and could often be found on the course at South Toledo Golf Club, or one of the many courses in Ohio and Michigan that he visited weekly with his cherished golfing buddies. If not golfing, you could find Jerry walking, traveling or attending Elvis festivals with his love, Donna Hunt. Jerry was a proud member of the Marine Corps Forces Reserve and worked in sales for many years prior to starting his own small business, which he operated until he retired.
