Jerry worked for Lafourche Boating for 21 years and retired from G & F Sporting Goods. He was an avid LSU fan, loved tailgating, and cherished spending time with his friends, family and grandchildren. He was always eager to put a smile on someones face.
Above all, Jerry was a kind hearted man. He would do anything to help a friend or family member in need and was known for bringing joy to others with his wonderful sense of humor.”
