Jerrold Pearl Postle

Jerry Postle was born January 27th, 1927 on the hilltop in Columbus, Ohio. He was married to his sweetheart Audrey Rinehart for 54 years. Jerry is a World War II veteran where he served as a naval aviation radio operator. After the war, Jerry learned the skill of making alterations and eventually became the alterations manager for the clothing store, The Union, where he had the opportunity to befriend folks from many different cultures and ethnicities. This gave him an appreciation of people and had a large impact on his life.
Jerry leaves a legacy of love… He and Audrey raised two sons John and Jeffrey. Together, they shared their love of national parks, theatre, music, and Jesus with their kids and five grandkids. Jerry and Audrey enjoyed square-dancing, traveling, and spending quality time with family. After Audrey’s death, Jerry was blessed to find another special lady in Ann Wheeler. Through their marriage, Jerry inherited five more children, and twelve more grandchildren!  Jerry and Ann were married for nine years before Ann’s passing.
Today, when Jerry is not reading, you might find him at Bible study, playing cards with friends, or watching his beloved Buckeyes or Browns. His family considers him a gift, an inspiration, and a true role model of what it looks like to love others well in this life.
