Interview with Jimmy Haddle
A few days ago I sat down with Jimmy Haddle, a friend of Jerry Hunter during high school and later at The Citadel and currently runs Haddle Insurance, talking about Jerry’s life before entering the Air Force. Here I learned a few new events in Jerry’s life and the how his loss affected the Douglasville community.
Jimmy talked about how Jerry was a good kid growing up and hanging out with friends like Grady Baggett Jr. and Corky Cheek. All the guys used to play tennis together at City Park (now known as Robert G. Hunter Memorial Park) on the two tennis courts near the pool. Jimmy was not as close as a friend like Grady, but he remembered how well of a person Jerry was.
