Nothing brought Jerry more joy and peace than spending time fishing with his family and friends.  No matter what Jerry was doing or where he was, he was always ready to spend quiet time fishing somewhere!

Jerry had a strong work ethic and put forth his best in everything he did.  He will be remembered for his big heart and his genuine nature.  He never met a stranger and would help anybody that he could.  He will be missed, but we celebrate his wonderful life and give thanks for the years that we were blessed to have him with us.
