The family of retired US Army SSG Jerry Lobo have asked the PGR to be with them as they bid a final farewell to their hero. It is our honor to do so.
Jerry served on both active duty and with the Army National Guard for over 22 years. He was awarded the Bronze Star, Army Service Medal, Army Achievement Medal, and the Good Conduct Medal.
After his active duty, Jerry worked for UPS, and was a Lead with them for over 10 years. In his spare time, he loved model cars and caring for his yard. He lost his youngest son in 2011 and his wife of 45 years, two years ago in 2017.
Jerry is survived by his four remaining children, twenty-four grandchildren, and three great grandchildren - with one on the way.
