Spending time with his grandchildren was his greatest pleasure. He enjoyed 58 years of marriage with his wonderful wife “Barbara Jean his teenage queen.” Jerry had an amazing talent of making anyone that stepped into his front door feel like family. His constant charisma and devotion to his family and friends made him the admirable man that everyone knew him to be and love. Jerry and Barb enjoyed 15 years of spending winters in their home in Clermont Florida with their many friends and family. He is survived by his wife, Barbara; three sons, Jeffrey (Marilyn), Michael (Susan), and Scott (Nicole Tomsen).
