The devoted and loving husband of Maureen, adored and loved dad of Yvette, Andrea and Geraldine, dear father-in-law of Stuart and John, cherished grandad of Gemma, Ella, Ross and Florence, great-grandad of Theo and Elsie, a dear brother and a respected relative and friend to many.

Born in Belfast, Jerry made the move to England when he enrolled with the Army serving his country for seventeen years, following his time in service Jerry worked as a HGV driver and later went on to work for British Rail and following his retirement he took a part time position at Blackburn Rovers as a steward. Jerry was always hard working and highly respected by his colleagues. He was a keen sports fan and was a supporter of Chelsea and Blackburn football clubs. A proud grandad, Jerry was always on hand to help with childcare and he became the families very own taxi driver.

Jerry was a fine and generous man and father. I respected him greatly as a man of deeds rather than words. He had three special daughters one who was very special to me. Thank you Jerry you were a fine man and you will be missed. Sleep in peace and I hope your family always rember you with Joy rather then sadness. At ease.
