On September 13, 1960 he was united in marriage to his high school sweetheart at St. John in Little Chute. He was a carpenter and craftsman and made many items that people have in their homes. Many of those items will be cherished by his family members. He enjoyed snowmobling (and taught for the DNR), motorcycling and in his later years triking. Jerry built his own trike. He and his son Tim bowled in many leagues over the years. Jerry found his faith in God again through Mark and Carol Farrell. He loved his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, spending time with them was always special. Jerry is now in heaven with his best friend Mike and they are riding their trikes from cloud to cloud.
