He loved to derby in his younger years, enjoyed car shows, Coors Light and spending time with his family and friends. Jerry loved classic cars and antiques such as pedal cars and tractors. He enjoyed camping and float trips with friends and family, Sunday afternoon cruises on his motorcycle, and helping anyone with any type of project, big or small.
