He went to school in Darwin MN and helped his father on the family farm. After high school, he worked at a taconite plant in Hoyt Lakes, MN.  He met Patricia Round and they married on April 4, 1959 at the Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Hoyt Lakes.

Jerry and Pat raised their family in Golden Valley MN and moved to Buffalo MN shortly after retirement. Recently, they moved to Global Pointe Senior Living in Golden Valley.
