After active
duty, Jerry
served in
the Vermont
Army
National
Guard for 32
years before
retiring
with an
honorable
discharge.
In 1985,
Jerry moved
to Vermont,
married his
wife,
Catherine,
and was
employed by
Velan Valve
Corporation
until his
retirement
in 2000.
After
working
college
campus
security for
several
years, he
secured a
job at Green
Mountain
Flagging in
2009, where
he spent the
last 8 years
working
tirelessly
as a
dedicated
Lead
Supervisor.
Jerry was an
outdoorsman--hunting,
fishing, and
tearing cars
apart when
he wasn't
keeping up
with
household
maintenance
or spending
time with
his family.
Though
struggling
with his own
health
issues, and
the demands
of work,
Jerry always
assured that
his wife's
needs came
first. He
cherished
his little
dog, Sadie-roo,
who remained
his faithful
companion,
lying by his
side until
the end. A
very special
thank you
goes out to
the
impeccable
team at
Green
Mountain
Flagging for
their
emotional
support, and
extremely
generous
monetary
contribution
to the
family
through this
trying time.
Graveside
service will
be held at
1:00 pm
Friday,
October 12,
2018 at
Woodlands
Cemetery in
Cambridge.
