Whether cooking up a feast, cheering on his teams, or making his grandchildren laugh, Jerry embodied joy and love in every moment. He especially treasured adventures with his grandchildren, who adored him.

Professionally, Jerry dedicated over 30 years to Eastman Chemical Company and was the proud owner of C&C Pools. His hard work

and dedication were respected by many, and he created countless friendships that lasted a lifetime.
