He was a Corporal in the Air Force during the Korean War. He was a member of the Masons & American Legion Post 28.
Jerry loved to sing and paint (landscapes, animals and portraits) for family and friends; used his many skills as a carver, finish carpenter and ability to "fix things" for family and neighbors.
