Jerry was a gentle, loving father and a true intellectual, admired and loved by all. A dedicated follower of Christ, he loved God deeply and was a model of Christ’s love to many. He was often found reading-about science, theology, the Bible. He was an avid fan of C.S. Lewis, a backpacker, and a dog-lover. He had a reverence for the outdoors and wilderness places. He passed this on to his children and now it is flowing to his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
