Beyond his professional life, Jerry was an avid enthusiast of the skies; Astronomy was not just a hobby; it was a passion that led him to travel, chasing solar eclipses and marveling at the cosmos. His love for collecting coins, stamps, and model trains was more than a pastime—it was a reflection of his appreciation for history and the intricate stories each piece told. A devoted fan of the Cardinals, Jerry found joy in the simple pleasures of baseball, a sport that echoed the patience and focus he applied to all areas of his life.
His adventurous spirit took him to numerous train shows, where he reveled in the camaraderie of fellow enthusiasts and the intricate world of locomotives. The journeys he embarked on, whether to witness celestial events or to explore the rails, were always imbued with enthusiasm and a desire to learn and experience more.
Jerry's legacy lives on through his beloved daughter, Catherine (Kevin) Cox, and his grandchildren; Haileigh, Quinton, Kaidin, Nicholas, Xavier, and Logan.
