Jerry Eldon Bireley 10/24/1938 - 10/29/2008
Resident of Livermore
After a valiant struggle with cancer, Jerry passed away on Wednesday October 29th at his home, with his family by his side. Jerry celebrated his 70th birthday on October 24 surrounded by family and friends. He was a lifetime Livermore resident; born at St Paul's Hospital, graduated from Livermore High School in 1956, and received his AA from Auburn Sierra College in 1959. He was an Airman Second Class in the Air Force Reserves until discharged in 1965. His younger years were full of adventures, riding his Harley across the US; and as an extra in the movie "The Greatest Story Ever Told" just to name a few. His first business was a boat launch and sales in Bethel Island and then as an Owner/Operator of JEB Drayage Trucking Co. Having found his calling as a truck driver, he spent his years until retirement on the road, with his arm out the window and the wind in his hair. Longtime Livermore business owner, he enjoyed restoring the Family Station on Portola Avenue built in 1923 to its original state. His hobbies in his latter years included a fishing boat at the Berkeley Marina, annual trips to the Bonneville Salt Flats Speed Week, the Classic Boat Show in Lake Tahoe and as an active member of the Livermore Heritage Guild. He is survived by his sister Kathleen; his children Charlotte, John (Mary), William, Jerrod (Daniela) and his grandson Vaclav. He had a great love for his family and was surrounded by his children at the "K" Street compound". Funeral service for family and friends will be held on Tuesday, November 4th at 1pm at Callaghan Mortuary Chapel, 3833 East Ave., Livermore with burial to follow at Memory Gardens Cemetery, 3873 East Ave., Livermore.
