Jerry was an avid golfer and played regularly at the Hollows in Montpelier. Over the years, Jerry had 6 holes-in-one and was able to “shoot” his age. He very much enjoyed searching for and retrieving lost golf balls from the lakes of the different courses he played and sharing them with others. Jerry was loved by everyone who knew him. He was kind, generous, honest, and always put others before himself. A graveside service will be held at Williamsburg Memorial Park on Saturday, January 22 at 2:00.
