Some people knew Gerald as Jake, others by Jerry, but everyone called him a friend. Jerry worked for many years at Harvey Milling Company in Carson City and he helped to build and start the one in Sheridan. He was a lifelong farmer, drove semi trucks, and sold DeKalb seed corn for 31 years. In his younger years, Jerry liked traveling and taking trips, going hunting and fishing. He enjoyed joking around with his grandkids and will be dearly missed by everyone.
