Jerry and Peggy spiced up retirement with frequent world travels. Jerry also enjoyed a wide variety of interests including gardening, volunteering, painting, photography, mentoring youngsters, and corresponding with friends.
Cremation and scattering of ashes with no ceremony or services were his desires.
