Conesus: May 22, 2014 at age 64 years. Survived by his wife, Lynne; children, Rebecca, Zachary, Kevin & Jennifer. sister, Elaine (Ed) Henning. many dear friends & relatives.

Jerry from a very young age loved the outdoors. He spent as much time there as he could, watching the clouds go by, listening to the birds sing, trying to identify the species. Walking in the woods, fishing, hunting, whatever it took to find his “peaceful place”. He became a tour guide in Montana, taking people on hunting expeditions for elk, deer, bear whatever they wanted all while riding a horse and camping under the stars. After he became disabled he continued to do what he loved even though many times it became difficult, using a golf cart for mobility he still hunted. He became a wildlife rehabilitator, caring for orphaned or injured wildlife, he even had a cat (Quazi) that was “different” and they had a special bond. He took in birds, turtles, squirrels, etc. but as everyone who knew him, his favorite were the fawns. He cared for one two days before his death. We know he is in heaven accepting all the animals that have passed and know he can now walk in the woods, listen to the birds all without being in pain. He will always be in our hearts and there will not be a day that goes by that we won’t think of him. May he rest in his “peaceful place”. Love you always Lynne, Rebecca and Zachary
