Jerry worked various jobs throughout his life, ending his working career retiring from Safeway after 25+ years.  Some of Jerry’s favourite pastimes included watching baseball and his favourite team the L.A. Dodgers, and curling. Together, Jerry and Ernie spent watching his “adopted” grandchildren grow-up.  They supported them in all their endeavours.
