He then purchased and owned Bailey’s Norge Village laundromat in Salt Lake City for 10 years and completed his employment of 16 years with Sports Authority in the Newgate Mall, until their closing. Jerry was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

He held many callings. He enjoyed music, dancing, fishing and loved the Utah Jazz and Utah State Aggies. Jerry was loved by many.

His light hearted look on life made others love him more. He served others in many capacities. He always worked hard and had a smile for everyone.

He was an incredible example to all of us. We always felt comfort being in his company. His laugh will be missed.
