After retirement, Jerry moved to Bandera where he built two homes and opened Frosty’s Cycle Stop. Bandera provided Jerry the opportunity to enjoy his passion for riding motorcycles and his sons are grateful to retain three of his former BMW bikes. He loved the life he lived in Bandera, enjoying family and friends, riding the open roads, dance halls, gardening, his pets, and bird watching.
