Jerry had worked many years for Outback Steakhouse in various positions; food tech, manager and coordinator. It was as a coordinator that he was offered many opportunities to travel, including Hawaii, where he lived for a few years and fell in love with the culture.
Jerry had an array of interest including collecting coins, baseball cards, racing and Pepsi memorabilia and cars. When it came to sports, he was a big fan of North Carolina State and Los Angeles Chargers.
Jerry was known as a critic: food critic, sports critic and music and movie critic. If it could be critiqued, he was there to give his opinion. Most of all, Jerry loved hanging out with his friends and laughing, all while living the island life.
