Jerry to all who knew him was in the furniture business from a young age. When Bernstein Furniture closed, he moved to the Nebraska Furniture Mart as assistant General Manager. Jerry was an avid water skier into his 70’s, and loved to play trumpet. He will be missed by those who loved his sense of humor and dedication to friends and family.
