Jerry was a staunch democrat and an avid sports fan. He enjoyed cheering on his favorite teams-the Atlanta Braves, WVU Mountaineers, and Denver Broncos. Jerry was kind and gentle and loved his family and pets immensely. Despite facing a chronic illness, Jerry's love and dedication to his family never wavered. He is survived by his daughter, Jillian Tieman and husband Shane of Princeton; beloved grandchildren Sean and Allison Tieman, Everly and Emilia Webb, and Jaiden Horn; one brother, John Richmond of Ohio; one sister, Beverly Thompson and husband Greg of Roanoke, VA; longtime companion Lottie Webb of Princeton; stepson David Webb and his wife Amanda of Pittsburg, PA, plus a host of other nieces, nephews, stepchildren and their families.
