Jerry was a 1963 graduate of Lima Senior High School and worked for Seneca Sheet Metal for over 30 years.  Jerry and Cathy shared a passion for racing.  Several of their 60 years together were spent racing corvettes with Tri-Vets Corvette Club an affiliation with the National Council of Corvette Clubs.  Jerry had a very successful "track" record throughout the Midwest. The next were spent in Port Clinton where Jerry followed another passion and became a charter boat Captain.  Showing the love for their favorite nascar driver the boat was named "03" fishing charters out of Lake Front Marina in Port Clinton.  In 2019 Jerry was nominated for Charter Boat Captain of the Year.  Jerry and Cathy spent most of their time at the Wagon Wheel Trailer Park meeting more amazing friends.
