Jerry had a great love for the outdoors, Classic country music, fishing, snowmobiling, Antique tractors, wood working and anything mechanical. Dad was a "Jack of all Trades" and a "Master of Most". Dad made an impact on everyone he met and loved to talk to anyone.
Always a part of our hearts you may be gone but you'll never be forgotten.
