He enjoyed watching his grandchildren’s sporting activities, always in the stands cheering them on. He cherished his grandchildren who meant the world to him and he to them. He could light

up any room he walked into with his smile and his one of a kind laughter. Jerry was a hard working man and dedicated to all that he did in his life. Despite his many responsibilities he always made time for his family and his passions. His fatherly love was like no other. He was a humble man of integrity, sincerity, kindness and generosity. He had a heart of gold and left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. This was easily seen with the many dear friendships and colleagues he made in his life. Occupationally, Jerry worked with Comstock construction on transmission lines as a young man.
