Jerry went to school in Seattle WA and worked most of his career at NC Machinery, but also as a real estate agent, 2nd Hand Store owner, even as sales for a Marine Supply company.
Jerry enjoyed cars. Old cars, new cars, Lincoln Continentals, four wheel drive, and Rusty Relics. He enjoyed his amateur radio hobby because he met new people, he could play around with all the variables to get a better signal, and he liked staying connected. Jerry also like to learn about different cities across the west and if it was on a back road it was even better. Jerry will be missed.
