Chicago. While at Zenith, he
studied engineering at DeVry
University. Jerry served his
country in Vietnam with the
U.S. Army and received his
honorable discharge papers in
January 1966.
He married his fi rst wife,
Sue, in 1968 and settled in
Kalamazoo, Mich., where they
had two sons, Jeffrey Scott
and Steven James. In 1977 the
family moved to Oregon, set-
tling in the Salem-Keizer area
where he opened his own
business: Northwest Micro-
wave Oven Service.
In 1993, he married Kray-
len Kelly Miller. Jerry retired
from his microwave oven re-
pair business in 2004 and he
and Kraylen spent several years
traveling the country in an RV.
By 2008, they had visited all

USA. In 2013 they took a land
tour of Alaska and the Cana-
dian Yukon. In February, Jerry
and Kraylen spent nine days
visiting Hawaii – completing
their 50th state.
Jerry and Kraylen bought
a home in Green Valley, Ariz.
in 2008. After three years of
commuting to Oregon for the

Green Valley their permanent
year-round home.
