Born December 22, 1931, and raised in Brookline and then Leominster, MA, Jerry attended the Eaglebrook School, Phillips Academy and Yale University. After an initial position on the NYSE, Jerry joined SELIG, the family furniture business which was a leading manufacturer of contemporary upholstered furniture during the 1960s-1970s. Jerry's design input was seen in textiles and furniture design that the company was known for. He served as President and then member of the board of the National Association of Furniture Manufacturers.
Jerry's great loves were his family, skiing, golf, travel and time spent on Cape Cod. His family has wonderful memories of ski and summer vacations together. Jerry and Joan retired to Sarasota, where they enjoyed travel and memorable years together.
Services were held on Monday, October 7 at Temple Emanu-El in Sarasota.
