Jerry worked in the Oil and Gas Industry for 40 years. He volunteered his time to the Knights of Columbus Council 1905 where he served as the Community Director and was a 3rd Degree Knight. He lived his life to the fullest and enjoyed simple pleasures; music, cooking, spending time with his boys, and patrolling around Gretna in his truck.
