He graduated from Aurora High School in 1953 where he was a member of the basketball team, the yearbook staff and glee club. He also served as vice-president of his senior class. He was involved in FFA all 4 years serving as president his senior year. His senior project earned him an award as an FFA state farmer.
He married Dixie Kitterman in October, 1953. They had 2 children in their 20 years of marriage. Their family moved several times over the years finally settling in Spring Hill, Kansas in 1969. He kept the promise to his children that they would stay in Spring Hill until they graduated and he continued to live in Miami County for many years.
He was in the printing profession for over 40 years. Even though he lived in several cities he was always a farm boy at heart. He spent many years raising and showing appaloosa horses.

He moved to Texas in the mid 80's. This is where he met and married Tibby Hawkins Coulston in 1989. The two of them enjoyed their many RV trips. His good sense of humor and ability to tell a good joke or story made it easy for him to make friends wherever their travels took them.

Jerry was the brains behind Tibby's embroidery machines. He had a passion for fishing and watching grandchildren play baseball. They had 32 wonderful years together.
