Jerry spent his childhood in Oregon where his parents homesteaded in a log cabin. He was from a family of musicians and developed a lifelong love of Big Band and Dixieland Jazz music. Jerry developed an early passion for cars, becoming an expert in the hot rods of the 50's and 60's and the classics from the 1920's, 30's and 40's. He was highly respected by classic car enthusiasts from throughout the U.S. and beyond. He also enjoyed attending Jazz festivals, going to Big Band social dances, and fishing and camping with his family. Jerry is survived by his two sisters and four children.
