Jerry never knew a stranger. He was the epitome of a Gentleman.

Throughout his life, Jerry enjoyed football, (Go Noles!) fishing, golf, and making anyone around him laugh with his quick humor.

A longtime lobbyist for Florida state's prosecutors, he was appointed Interim Staff Director of the Senate Criminal Justice Committee during his career. He served as Executive Director of the state attorney’s office in both Tallahassee and Daytona Beach, Florida. Jerry was passionate about victims' rights, as well as helping juvenile delinquents get on the right path.

His memory will continue to live on in the hearts of his family and friends.

Always and forever.
