It took a while for Jerry to find his true calling in life, but he finally found it in Gillette, Wyoming when he went to work and retired from Getter Trucking. He could not stay retired, so he started driving truck for Harry Reynolds until the age of 75. He cared for his wife until her passing in 2008. Jerry’s three girls were the life of his life. They were the true reason he remained in this life for 15 ½ years after the passing of his wife. He loved them beyond measure.
