As a young officer, Jerry wanted to see the world and buy a Porsche. He returned to the United States with his wife, child, and a Volkswagen: “Best tradeoff ever,” he was known to say!

Jerry retired from Texas Instruments after working as a Mechanical Engineer in the semiconductor division. With his TI career, he travelled around the world and made many international friends, but he always cherished returning home to his family and friends in Texas.

In 1956, Jerry became a knight in the Knights of Columbus, the world’s largest Catholic fraternal service organization. He became a fourth degree knight of the highest order in 1975. He was a deeply faithful man and helped all those who asked for his help with a smile and a witty remark.

He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Erna, his daughter, Karin and his two grandchildren, Laura and Mark. He is also survived by his younger sister, Catherine, and his many nephews and nieces both in Houston, Texas and Neumarkt/Opf, Germany.

His trust in the Lord was unwavering.
