He was born April 20, 1941, in Malone, to Frank & Viola (Pickart) Burg. Jerry attended Holy Cross Grade School.
On November 10, 1973, he married Joanne Kaiser at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Mount Calvary.
Jerry began his truck driving career hauling cattle, delivering propane, and eventually working for Panetti Stone which later became Buechel Stone; he drove for Buechel Stone for 30 plus years (over a million miles). In his later career, he was the dispatcher and managed the trucking department at Buechel Stone until his retirement in 2004. Following retiring from Buechel Stone, he established his business, Jerry's Consulting, which helped small trucking firms stay compliant with state DOT regulations.
Drag racing was in Jerry's blood, Jerry won numerous races in his Ford Mustang at what is now called Wisconsin International Raceway. He was an avid cribbage player (especially with his wife, & sisters-in-law, Carol Kaiser & Ruth Rusch), enjoyed traveling both for work and taking his family on trips throughout the country. Jerry & Joanne spent the past several winters in Arizona by their son, Tim and making trips up North in Wisconsin to their daughter, Kelly's home.
