\"\"Jerry Boyer
\nA man involved in construction “ever since he was old enough to hold a hammer” is Habitat for Humanity of Clinton County’s Volunteer of the Year.
\nJerry Boyer of Bath has been been instrumental in every construction project Habitat has undertaken since 2009, explains Sue Carroll, Habitat’s executive director.
\n\"\"Jerry Boyer and his wife, Sue<\/em>
\nThe son of a general contractor, Jerry developed a fondness for construction as a child. After retiring as a toolmaker with General Motors for 38 years, he knew he wanted to stay active. He formed a mission team at his church, Bath United Methodist, organizing teams to travel to New Orleans to help victims of Hurricane Katrina for five years.
\nCloser to home, he’s given countless hours to Habitat for Humanity of Clinton County. For each home we’ve built, Jerry’s put in more than 150 hours of time, explains Sue Carroll.
\n“As crew leader for interior carpentry work, Jerry puts his excellent skills to work in each project he touches”, explains Sue Carroll. “When Jerry’s on the job, closets end up with beautiful shelving, windows end up with wooden sills.”
\nOn Tuesdays, Jerry devotes his time to the Tuesday Toolmen, a group dedicated to helping with home repair projects and building wheelchair ramps for those in need. Jerry’s also helped with every wheelchair ramp built by Habitat for Humanity of Clinton County.
\nWhen describing why he gives so much of his time helping others, Jerry said, “When we completed a wheelchair ramp for a disabled gentleman and he told us, ‘now I can go to church on Sunday,’ that’s what makes it all worthwhile.”
\nJerry is married to Sue Boyer, a retired school teacher. They have four grown children and seven grandchildren.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
