He was an astute learner, receiving his bachelors and masters at the University of Florida. Jerry used his vast knowledge and wisdom across many subjects and always had an answer or explanation for any question or inquiry. Jerry is most well-known for his colorful and captivating stories. He lived a fascinating life with many experiences and adventures and shared these openly with friends, loved ones, and anyone willing to listen. Jerry loved spending time with his wife and family, gardening, walking his pup Abby, golfing, hunting, playing cribbage and Zorch, watching the Florida Gator’s, and helping others with any and all projects he could help with. His heart was always in the right place, and he was willing to help others no matter the task. His bigger than life personality, smile, laughter, and love will be dearly missed by all who loved him and knew him. He was the best father, husband, and Papa this world could ever create.
