There are several activities that Jerry really loved with the top four being fishing, biking, barbecuing and sleeping, he loved a good nap.

Lots of good times and memories, hanging out with my cousin jerry. I remember all of the fun summers, when jerry, dan, Judy, Chris and Laurie would come visit us in kirksville. We would go swimming and fishing at the pond by Mel and Bill Eagens house. And most days, there was a fist fight between Chris and jerry. In the evenings we would go to the ballpark, to watch ball games. The first time I saw someone light a fart was jerry, at Brian killdays trailer in Kirksville, while listening to the Doors, on the record player and drinking buckhorn beer. I could come up with more stories, but that will do for now. See you, jerry on the other-side!

Now I did not get to spend enough time with Jerry over the years as all of his nearest family and friends have, but his extreme love of fireworks deserves to be mentioned at this time of year. Him and his family being around for the Fourth of July always made for a special holiday, complete with stories I may take to my grave. God bless ya brother, light em’ up!
