Jerry was a larger than life fan of all sports but particularly his Arkansas Razorbacks and Ohio State Buckeyes. His legacy of mad skills poker, Little Brown Jug shenanigans, madcap fishing trips, unwavering enthusiasm for sports at all hours of the day or night, and silly humor will live on in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him.
