Jerry loved life, and all those who made his life an adventure as he smiled through 102 years. He proudly served his country during World War II as a Technical Sergeant and was effective in training for radar procedures. Many times, he would share stories of the Battle of the Bulge, his interactions with General George Patton, his work with radar during the war, and the map of the many miles he traveled in service to his country in war-torn Europe. Jerry was a proud American. He will be missed but never forgotten.
