He attended school in Nortonville, ND and was a graduate of North Dakota State University (1958) with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering; as well as a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) Fraternity. Jerry had 5 Sisters: Patricia, Natalie, Carla, Jacqueline, and Darlene.
Jerry was united in Holy Matrimony to Patricia Jean Rindahl on December 28, 1958. The union was blessed with 5 children (Brian, Steve, Michelle, Wade and Kristi), 15 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. He also brought in Cousin Paul Isaacson to live and become part of the family.
Jerry worked for Boeing out of college until 1967, then joined Honeywell until his retirement in the early 1990s.
