Whether he was on vacation or at home, Jerry lived to improve the lives of those around him. 'Grandpa Jerry' was a staple at his grandchildren's sporting events, graduations, band performances, school plays and church events. For a family member, friend, co-worker, or neighbor, Jerry was always willing to go the extra mile to make someone's day. He lived his life selflessly, looking to improve the lives of others whenever possible. His family, and the many friends he has made over the years, will miss the genuine honesty, kindness and generosity that he carried with him throughout his life. Since then, Jerry enjoyed his time as a successful salesman for Pundmann Ford in St. In 1974, Jerry's entrepreneurial spirit led him to the August Busch Wildlife Area in Weldon Springs, Missouri where he managed Busch Lodge until 1983, making good friends with many fishermen, hunters and outdoorsmen.
