Jerry was a retired pipe fitter and welder from Union Carbide Corporation Institute Plant and a true jack of all trades throughout his life. He never met a stranger and would go out of his way to help anyone, always with a smile on his face. Jerry loved the Lord and could not wait to meet Him.

In his own words: “Let me go, I am ready to meet Jesus, don’t be sad.”

Jerry will be cremated and no service at his request.
