Jerome didn’t have a lot of hobbies. A hard working individual, staying busy on the farm was in many ways his pastime.

He was a fan of The Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune. According to his family, “Grandma’s fried chicken was a favorite of his” and a bowl of ice cream was daily ritual for as long they can remember. His grandchildren though, were his true passion.He is survived by his daughter Deb Inman of Morris; sisters Roberta Bauer of Shelbyville, Indiana, Marian Weiler of Cincinnati, Ohio; brother Vincent Weiler of Sunman, Indiana; three grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
