Jerry was a proud Father and Papa. He had a fulfilling career working as a physical education/heath teacher at Eisenhower Junior High School for 34 years. Known by his friends as “Pi”, Jerry was a well respected basketball coach at Eisenhower, and wrestling and football coach at Downers Grove North High School. He was an avid sports fan with his favorite teams being the Los Angeles Lakers and St. Louis Cardinals. In college, Jerry was a member of the TKE fraternity and was known for his great sense of humor. He loved old detective television shows, Las Vegas, and the Rat Pack. There’s a lot more we could say, but his favorite singer, Frank Sinatra, said it best in the song, “Fly Me to the Moon,” when he sang, “In other words, I love you.”
