Jerry was an avid golfer and painter. He also enjoyed the classic car scene, showing his 1968 Ford Mustang and driving in car cruises. In earlier years Jerry also enjoyed running, participating in the Crim, bowling, and dancing. And he always appreciated the early rock and roll music of his teens and 20s.

Jerry will be missed by many, and his memory will live on in the hearts of all those who loved him.
