Jerry never knew a stranger, and he loved his extended family and close friends with the same passion and loyalty as his own kin.
Jerry’s quick whitted humor always brought smiles to those he came into contact with. His stories and talents that he shared will be treasured by each life he touched. His unwavering kindness and generous heart will leave a legacy that will continue thanks to the teachings he provided to his loved ones from woodworking, mechanical skills, business techniques and many life skills. He often made treasures out of wood to gift to his loved ones. However, teaching his grandchildren and great grandchildren how to work with wood and their hands was the best gift. His time was his most valuable gift that was given and given freely.
