Jerry very much loved the littles of the family. His face would light up with joy and beam with pride at the simple sight of the family he helped create. He always made sure to say how proud he was of everyone and how fast time flies each time a little one was a little bigger than the last time he saw them. The warmness of his smile will not be forgotten.
Jerry honed his professional craft of plumbing for multiple decades. Working with honor and quality service, passing on the work ethic to his son, Tim, who joined him in the industry followed by his grandsons, Brian and Dustin Craig. When he wasn't at work, Jerry loved to bird watch, tend to his cats, watch old western films and enjoy time with his family. He very much enjoyed being near the sea and on the beach. Some ice cream at the end of a long day (or for any reason) was a must after riding with the top down in his PT Cruiser on a nice day.
