Jerry was born November 7, 1947 in Alexandria, Minnesota to Martin and Vi Dusa. He was the second born son to the couple and was one of four children in the family.

There´s never a day that goes by that I don´t think of him, will never be a day that I don´t remember him. A great relative, great friend, great person; taken from us far too soon.
