They raised their 2 children known as “Their Jewels” daughter Lisa Rae Dow and Matthue Jerry Hoskins (Lisa P). Jerry was employed as the Paint Shop Supervisor at Tooele Army Depot where army equipment was refurbished. His work became a hobby and he passed those skills and talent to his son. They spent countless hours together refurbishing vintage vehicles.
When his retirement came knocking they sold their family home and took on the full time RV Life Style. Summers were spent as Camp Ground Hosts at Strawberry Reservoir. Winters drew him south. They managed to park the Motor Home in every state. His favorite city being New Orleans….not only for the culture but also for the spicy food.
