Jerry graduated from Cranston West and was skilled in many trades. He was an accomplished carpenter, mechanic, wood crafter and so much more. Anything that needed to be fixed, you could count on Jerry to do it. Jerry spent the best working years of his life at Michel’s Power, Inc. working his way up from Operator to General Foreman in just a few short years. A proud member of Local 104 he was no stranger to hard work.
He also enjoyed his Harley Davidson, snowmobiling, hiking, skiing, and traveling.
A proud father, stepfather, and grandfather, he loved supporting his children and their milestones and achievements, sharing a special bond with each and every one of them. His children were his life and his grandchildren had become his heart. Jerry instilled in them a love for family traditions and adventures like annual holiday gatherings and family vacations to North Conway, NH. Not to be overlooked, his love of preparing and enjoying Italian food !
