Always the family man, he made jewelry boxes for many of his nieces and daughter, crafted bedroom furniture with his sons, and designed other things for many over the years. Jerry had a great sense of humor and always had great dad jokes to share with everyone, which keep the whole family laughing through the years.

Bird watching in the back yard was another hobby; he loved to watch the woodpeckers come in, and always worried about the cardinals, hoping they were okay.
