In the spring of 1992, Jerry met Gail, who, in his own words, was the “love of his life.� Together, they enjoyed a life filled with fishing, home projects, trips to Las Vegas and spending time with their beloved dog Sammy. Jerry was delighted to see Sammy in his final hours at the hospital.

Jerry was affectionately known by his family as “Papa�. At summer’s end, when fishing rods and boats were in storage and the days grew shorter, Papa relished chasing deer and birds in the green swamps near Floodwood. His family and grandchildren remember Papa for making deer camp the best part of their year. Despite being very ill in November, he made it to deer camp one last time. His ashes will be scattered there.
