Jerry loved all sports, Italian food and fine wine. He was athletic and even played as an offensive lineman in the 1960 Sun Bowl. Jerry’s favorite pastime was fishing, but he also loved to golf. Always a beach bum at heart, Jerry spent his winters in Naples, FL with Susan, enjoying warm days and good friends. The Brewers, Bucks, and Packers were his passion, yet his most favorite teams were any that his children or grandchildren played for.

Jerry will be greatly missed, but he will live on in the hearts of many, always.
