brotherhoods and the charitable causes that they support.

As both a driver and mechanic, Jerry was a pioneer in the early days of automotive drag racing.
He was a fierce competitor and achieved many records and awards. He was also an avid and skilled
boater, which he found very rewarding, stepping up as a leader in many of the Yacht clubs he was
associated with.

For more than 40 years, Jerry developed and ran businesses in Massachusetts and Florida. He built
strong relationships and was well respected by his many colleagues, customers, and employees.
As a lifetime learner and educator, Jerry enjoyed continuing to expand his knowledge. He taught
principles of the HVAC industry and his craft, at the Massasoit College in Massachusetts. He also
taught at the training school for the Massachusetts Pipefitter’s Local 537 from which has was a retired
member. He never missed an opportunity to share his vast knowledge or to mentor and lend a
helping hand to those in need.

MA., Aidan Maguire and wife Rosie Maguire of Canton, MA., Colleen Cunningham and husband
Shaun Cunningham of Wilmington, MA., Heather Wood of Tamarac FL., Andy Celli and husband Kia

close friends both near and far. Many of them have shared their stories
and connections will live on in the stories that Jerry shared with us.
