Jerry was a kid at heart, always ready to play cards, pool, golf, and show cars. He used his artistic skills everywhere and made a living restoring automobiles. Jerry earned the name Energizer Bunny from those closest to him. He never stopped creating or working on something. He loved life and sharing his many talents with others. He loved showing off his baking skills because he loved good food, especially tomatoes. One of Jerry's exceptional skills was putting people together from all backgrounds and making things happen. Some might have called themselves one of Jerry’s kids because he was generous and giving to those in need. Jerry was the hardest worker you have ever seen and was great with children. Jerry was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend.
