Jerry enjoyed his 40 year career as a research and design engineer finishing his career as Vice President of Sales at Precision Air. Jerry approached life with style and class. He had the ability to communicate with people from all walks of life and his lighthearted and expressive stories will be carried with us and sorely missed. Even though Jerry's illness took him much too soon, as a father and grandfather during his retirement years he spent his time cultivating life-long memories with his sons, grandchildren, family members and friends.
