Born in Winnipeg in 1933, Jerry attended Kelvin High School and the University of Manitoba. Jerrys life was rich with community service and volunteerism. He served on the Board of Directors of the Red River Exhibition Association, Past-Chair of the Exhibition Summer Show and recently appointed to their Honourary Council. He was a Past Commodore of the Winnipeg Canoe Club. Jerry actively volunteered at the 1967 and 1999 Pan-Am Games, 1972 Commonwealth Games and recently at the North American Indigenous Games. Jerry served on the Executive of the Manitoba Classic and Antique Auto Club and continued as an active member. He was also Past-President and a member of the Lord Selkirk Auto Club.
