    Jerry Jr had many skills that he acquired on various jobs. As a youngster, he had paper routes and sold magazines. He worked as a technician in a microbiology laboratory. He had electrician and other handyman skills. My favorite of his skills was his knowledge of history, especially American and ancient history and his ability to have conversations with me about his philosophical thoughts about the many books he read and documentaries that he watched on television after he was disabled and unable to work. We had many conversations about these, especially the philosophical implications of the various Star Trek franchises. His habit was to watch these series in order, except for Voyager which he always started with the episode when Seven of Nine joined the crew. He thought Kes insipid and couldn’t abide her. He was an atheist as an adult but watched shows like Ancient Aliens and was so curious about the ambiguous historical evidence about this topic.
  • Personal Life & Family

    The highlight and pride of Jerry Jr’s life was his children. He was very proud of all of them and frequently spoke to me of their most recent achievements. He was constantly amazed by how bright and successful and good his children were.
