Jerry Poe
I was born in Shawnee Oklahoma in 1935 to Delbert & Marie Poe. I had one brother who went to be with Lord at age 54 in the year 2000. We were raised in a Christian home & I came to faith in Christ at the age of seven. My career desire was to follow in my dad’s footsteps & become a pilot. My dreams were cut short due to my ongoing problem with air sickness.
Our family attended church regularly & were members of Calvary Assembly in Inglewood CA in the late 1940’s. This is where I was introduced to two friends who were plumbers. After talking with them about the plumbing trade & listening to their positive comments, I decided to pursue a career as a plumber. My dad introduced me to his friend who owned a large plumbing company & was also a member of our church. He agreed to sponsor me into the Plumbers Union & he hired me in the summer of 1954.
My wife Bobbie & I were married on September 25th 1954.We have been blessed with two daughters, 3 grandchildren & two great grandchildren. After working for 12 years for a few different plumbing companies, I borrowed 1500 dollars from my parents & started Poe’s Quality Plumbing Co. in 1966 in our home in Yorba Linda CA. By God’s grace we were able to repay them the following year. I operated our company with the help of some wonderful employees for 42 years & a number have become close friends. Over the years I have had many opportunities to pray for & with them. My wife Bobbie has been my most loyal supporter & was my first secretary. We have held many employee Christmas dinner parties in our home.
I have been active on various church boards, taught 6th grade & adult Sunday school classes, sang in the church choir & quartet. Bobbie & I were youth sponsors when our daughters were teen agers .I have been a member of the Anaheim First Baptist Church’s executive council & a member of the church’s pastoral search committee. I served as treasurer for Across International Ministries for a number of years. Bobbie & I are current members of The First Evangelical Free Church Of Fullerton and are active members in Prime Agers adult fellowship. About 18 years ago I became involved in our church’s prison ministry. I am currently responsible for the Rebekah Chapel Wednesday AM Bible Study the last two Wednesdays of each month as well as an evening weekly Bible Study in the prison hospital. I am also available for counseling & as a Brown Card I am approved to minister at different locations inside Chino Men’s Prison as directed by the Protestant Chaplain. I desire to continue this ministry as long as God gives me strength. I strongly believe in the ministry of Joy Partners & consider it an honor to be a board member. May His glorious name ever be praised. -Jerry Poe
