He met his great love, Pearl “Pitzie” Epstein, at Central High School at the age of 16 but, like most of their contemporaries, their lives were interrupted. At 18, he was called to serve his country as a US Airman, where he flew 38 missions over Germany in World War II. Upon his return he earned his degree at the University of Michigan, where he and Pitzie formed lifelong friendships. They wed in 1948 and Jarvis joined his father in the family fruit farming business. Pitzie and Jarvis started their family and within the next 6 years, David, Jonny and Deborah were born. They raised their family alongside their dear friends Eunie and Bob Faber, and created a tight-knit community in Ann Arbor. With his father, Jarvis established Huron Farms, a successful business that became a haven for those needing work as well as friends and family. From 1979 to 1997 they were blessed with seven grandchildren. Jarvis was the cherished father of David and his wife Colby, the late Jon and his wife Hildy, and Deborah and her wife Rona.
