In later years, Jerry, and his wife Pat, traveled each year for 17 years on music cruises to many ports enjoying the music he loved.

Jerry loved to fish, retiring to Granbury to do just that. He had a real passion for sun fish because he caught so many of them spending many hours on the web searching for foolproof fishing methods.
