Jerry Spencer Calloway's Obituary
Jerry "Papa" Calloway
Sadly, we share that Papa passed away suddenly at his lake Cherokee home, Saturday, February 18, 2017. He leaves behind Barbara, wife of 38 years and her children Chuck Prosch of Houston, TX and Amy Prosch Shober (Tom) of Charlotte, NC. He also leaves behind nine grandchildren ~who were the apple of his eye ~Chuck (Emily) and Cimaron Prosch of Houston TX; Jon (Cassie), Chris, Tyler and Barrett Prosch of Colorado; Samantha, Rich and Charlie Shober of Charlotte NC. Son Scott Prosch predeceased Papa (ALS 2011) and now, together again, their shared past times of hunting, fishing and laughing can resume.
Jerry grew up in Smackover AR one of five from parents Spencer and Nannie Calloway, and graduated from Southern Arkansas University. He is survived by brother Mike (Andie) Calloway of San Antonio, TX nephew David (Suzette) of Smackover, AR, as well as other nephews and nieces. Deceased siblings include Gen Loe, John (Dorothy), Fred (Shirley) and Joe Calloway.
After moving to East Texas, he was with Baker Hughes until retirement. He regularly phoned and visited grandkids, gardened and shared his abundant crop, held outdoors fish fries and enjoyed life at the lake with Barbara and visitors.
