Jerry Kimento Obituary


Jerry was born in Middlesboro, KY the beloved son of the late Anthony and Susie Kimento. Cherished husband of Claire and loving father of Jeremiah (Cortney) Kimento and Therese (Dean) Atkinson; proud grandfather of Haleigh (Dylan) Knaperek, Nathan, Neilan and Olivianna; great grandfather of Theo Joseph and Maverick: beloved brother of the late Orce (Ruth) Bowling, beloved brother-in-law of the late Francis Parker, Margaret (Frank) O’Reilly, Mary Ann (William) Boorazanes, Julie (Fred) Krumwiede; Uncle and Great Uncle to many.

Jerry was an avid HAM radio operator and had a love for electronics that his grandfather instilled in him. His love for electronics turned into a career of manufacturing, electronics, software engineering.
After retirement, he spent as much time as he could spending time with his grandkids during their various activities, lunch dates, zoo trips, and yearly trips to the pumpkin patch. 
He was known for his sense of humor, old sayings, and most importantly, his generous hospitality.  He welcomed everyone into his home with a smile and an offer of food and drink. 
He will be missed by his wife of nearly 44 years, his children, grandkids, great grandkids, and friends.
