Jerry was a 1956 graduate of North Catholic High School. He began his early working years as a carpenter building homes. He then accepted a job with Dravo Corp(Neville Island) in their carpenter department, building and constructing various projects until they closed.

Jerry took his carpenter skills to St. Francis Hospital in Bloomfield and later transferred to Cranberry Township for the next 20 years-before retiring. He often shared how blessed he was to have a job that he could utilize his carpenter skills and allow him the opportunity to build on developing friendships and relationships with patients/ residents and staff alike.

Jerry was a simple man who loved the Lord. He enjoyed taking walks in nature while enjoying the beauty of God’s abundant creation . He enjoyed tending to his beautiful flower gardens, reading his Bible, and taking drives, with Barbara beside him, to their favorite ice cream shop.

Jerry will be fondly remembered for his sharp and keen memory, his treasured stories of earlier days shared with family and friends, and his gratitude for all of his extended family.

His life emulated the words of St. Teresa

of Calcutta, "Not all of us can do great things, but we can all do small things with great love."

We will miss you- Dad, Pap, Brother, Uncle, Cousin, and Friend.

Your courageous 10 year battle with cancer has ended. We will always admire your strength and inner desire to make all things new.
