Jerry Lee Toot

Lisbon -           Jerry Lee Toot, 73, died tragically at UPMC Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh with his family at his side on Sunday following an accident at his home.

            Born February 7, 1947 in Salem, he was the son of the late Ralph W. and Merry C. (Patterson) Toot.

            Together with Gene McGaffic, he operated J & G Trucking for many years and was still operating a steel truck dispatching business from his home.

            A long-time active member of the First United Methodist Church of Lisbon, Jerry was a 32nd degree Mason, member of New Lisbon F &AM No. 65 and the Al Koran Shriners. He was an avid golfer and loved to camp and watch sports. He especially enjoyed being an active part in the lives of his children and grandchildren.

There are eight grandchildren: Paige, Tanner, Regan, Cole, Luke, Leila, Isaiah, and Nate. He also leaves his extended family, his sisters-in-law Laurie (Bill) Galloway and Chris Doyle both of Texas and Mary (Michael) Lyberg of Avon Lake, and his brother-in-law and good friend John Applegate of Lisbon. Jerry’s many friendships brought joy to his life.

            He was preceded in death by his parents, his sister Sherri, and his dear friend and Mother-in-law, “Big Al”, Alyce Applegate, and sister-in-law Libby Applegate.

            A private funeral service officiated by the Rev. Bobby Rathburn will be held at Weber Funeral Home on Wednesday followed by burial in Lisbon Cemetery. A public celebration of Jerry’s life will be scheduled when permitted.
