Obituary for Martin E. Jaeger
Martin E. Jaeger, of Genesis Healthcare Quakertown Center, Quakertown, formerly a long-time resident of Perkasie, passed away on Thursday, September 27, 2012, at his residence. He was 92. He was the beloved husband of the late Regina (Moyer) Jaeger for 67 years until her death in 2008.
Born in Perkasie, he was the son of the late Adam and Minnie (Bishop) Jaeger.
Mr. Jaeger was a U.S. Navy veteran, having served in the Pacific Theater on the USS Fayette during World War II. He was the recipient of five Bronze Stars.
Marty had been employed as a butter and egg sales and delivery man for 40 years, first with his father-in-law and then later when he owned and operated his own business. He also had worked in the seafood department of the former Clemens Market, Chalfont, and the Tri-County Equipment Company, Horsham.
An active member of St. Andrew’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, Perkasie since 1941, Martin had served as the sexton, Sunday school superintendant and as an usher.
He was the president of the annual Garden Party Auxiliary fundraiser at the Lutheran Home at Germantown. He also had been a member of the Perkasie American Legion.
Marty enjoyed camping with his family, fishing, and long car rides. Most of all, he loved spending time with his devoted family.
