Jerry loved working on his truck, a highly favored blue ’76 Ford Explorer truck. After a hard day at work, he could often be found under the hood or underneath the chassis, tinkering and improving like a professional mechanic. In the background, his favorite tunes like Elvis were playing on the nearby radio.

Jerry was a quiet man that enjoyed one-on-one conversations and stayed in the background. He was a good provider for his family and was a hard worker all of his life.
