Jerry and Susie also loved to travel. They would spend time at their time-share in St. Martins during the winter and traveled to Alaska in their RV during the summer. Jerry would insist on a fish boil for all their family and friends whenever they would return home. Aside from traveling Jerry enjoyed going on hunting trips for elk, moose, and other animals.
