Jerry was a native of Charenton and a resident of Sorrel for the past 27 years who passed away on Thursday, September 14, 2017, at the age of 84 at his home surrounded by family. He was a proud veteran of the United States Army who honorably served his God and Country stateside during the Korean War.
