On Thursday November 17th Jerry Eugene Antone "Butch" devoted husband and father, passed away at the age of 78.
Jerry was a kind, giving soul who was always looking out for the welfare of others.
A Pensacola native, Jerry was raised by his grandmother and grew up playing in the family laundry near Seville Square. He graduated from Pensacola Technical High School.
