Jerry Spahr was born November 29, 1932, to Howard and Elizabeth Spahr in Media, PA. He married Pauline Hurtado on September 4, 1964, in Clovis, NM. After retiring from the Air Force in 1972, he worked in multiple careers. He made hand-crafted Indian turquoise jewelry with his wife in their jewelry shop, he received his vocational degree in auto and diesel mechanics allowing him to be a diesel engine repair technician, and he worked in the commissary and later in the post office to complete his career as a civil servant. His greatest role was being a loving husband, father, and grandfather to his family.

Mr. Spahr is survived by his children, Diane (Doyle) Lohman, Gerri Griego, Dorothy (Mike) Shoman, Carla Spahr, Sonny (Kathie) Spahr; grandchildren, Christine Romangonzalez, Michael Miller, Dominique Miller, Roberta Price, Evalena Griego, Gabriel Witt, Nina Heying, Jantelle Spahr-Reick, Aaron Spahr, Billy Spahr, Jessica Preast, Brandon Wimberly, Lori Bastian, David Lohman, Derek Lohman; and thirty great-grandchildren.

He is preceded in death by his wife, Pauline Spahr; parents Howard and Elizabeth Spahr; grandchildren, Veronica Hardesty, Daniel Witt, and Nigel Wimberly; and siblings, Helen Connelly, Meta Gambol, Frankie Spahr, Howard Spahr, Christian Spahr, and Carl Spahr.

Every morning when I walked my dog, I saw Mr. Spahr finishing his breakfast/coffee with his family, who lived next door to him. Then as his son drove off to work, Mr. Spahr stood at the end of the driveway and waved goodbye to him, wishing him a good day. I loved that moment of my morning. I so wished that my dad lived next door to me and could wave me goodbye in the mornings. Then Mr. Spahr started noticing me walk by and began saying hello. We became casual friends in that he would pull over and speak to me, or stop in his morning after his son drove away, to visit with me. He was clearly a special person, and I know his family must miss him. I knew I hadn't seen him in the mornings in a while, but I didn't realize that Mr. Spahr was struggling. I'm so glad to see he had a good caregiver, and I hope he has found so much peace. Thank you, Mr. Spahr, for being my friend.

Not everyone is someone you let close to your heart. From the very first time I met him something told me to love him &’ take the best care of him that I possibly could.I have crossed paths with so many clients/patients &’ he happened to be the “special one”. It was my pleasure to get placed with him.You’ll never be forgotten &’ I truly miss you. I’m happy to know you’re in a better place even though my hurt heart’s knowing our time together ended so soon. Love you Mr.Spahr “dad”. Watch over me &’ the babies. I know I will now have one of the best angels keeping us covered 💙
