Jerry Robert Dipzinski, age 74, of East Tawas passed away April 2, 2016 at the VA Hospital in Ann Arbor. There will be a celebration of life memorial on Friday, April 22, 2016 with visitation at Martin Funeral, Cremation & Tribute Services in Grand Blanc from 10:00 am until time of Memorial Service at 12:00 pm. Rev. Fr. Gordon Reigle will officiate with burial to follow at Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly. Jerry was born May 22, 1941, in Flint, the son of Mr. & Mrs. Alexander L. and Mary A. (Pewinski) Dipzinski. He graduated from St. Agnes Catholic High School with the Class of 1959. Jerry proudly served in the United States Army, serving from March 10, 1960, until receiving his honorable discharge on February 28, 1963. Upon returning to civilian life, Jerry would begin to further his education at Mott Community College with an interest in drafting, but spent most of his career in sales. He was a loving father and grandfather who was known for his charismatic personality. Some may say he was a flirt. He enjoyed a good book or a crossword puzzle when not spending time with family and friends or his Yorkies, Stuart and Eugene. Left to cherish his memory, three daughters: Jannelle (Jim) Merner of Canton, Jolynn (Randy) Badgero of Indianapolis, IN, and Jennifer (Darrell) Bost of Farmersville, TX; son, Jerry (Laurie) Botdorf of Mansfield, OH; 12 grandchildren: Ian, Nicole, Trevor, Jayna, Colin, Beau, Bailey, Whitney, Jhan, Bergen, Kristin, and Annie; eight great-grandchildren; sister, Bev McMonagle; three brothers: Marv (Diane) Dipzinski, Norm (Carol) Dipzinski, and twin Gary (Arleen) Dipzinski; and many other family members and friends. Jerry was preceded in death by his parents, Alexander and Mary Dipzinski.
