Jerry was a machinist at Evinrude Motors in Milwaukee for over 40 years. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and boating, but he was happiest when he could spend time with his family. He was a member of First Presbyterian Church in Weyauwega.

He is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by his father-in-law and mother-in-law: William Grim and Pearl (Claussen); also an infant brother Ronald James Kennedy.
A memorial service for Jerry will be held on Friday, June 21, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in Weyauwega with Sheri Reindl officiating. Burial will be in the Wisconsin Veteran's Cemetery in King. A gathering of family and friends will take place on Friday at the church from 9:00 a.m. until the time of the service.
