He was a 1971 graduate of Indian Creek High School and went on to have a long and successful career as a Master Carpenter with the Carpenters Union Local 130 in Indianapolis, retiring in 2009 after 45 years of service. Jerry was also a licensed Gunsmith, with a passion for target shooting.
A devoted member of Samaria Christian Church and a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association, Jerry found great joy in spending time with his family and friends.
