Jerry retired several years ago and enjoyed being at home with his wife Dana and their four dogs and two cats. He enjoyed deer hunting with his brother and his boys. These trips were a source of great joy. Jerry enjoyed a good western, traveling in the hill country, hunting, fishing, and being at home with his family. He also enjoyed spending weekends watching the Texans or going to an Astros game. Jerry was a quiet, thoughtful man who loved his wife and family with his whole heart.
