Most of all, he loved his family and his beautiful bride. Jerry is survived by his three children: John Graf, Kim (Don) Ewald, and Jerilyn (Peter) Rubino; four grandchildren: Jillian Ewald, Justine Ewald, Meg Rubino, and Joey Rubino; siblings Jim (Roseanne) Graf, Jane (Doug) Kutz, and Judy (Tom) Hale; in-laws Joanne Schwabe and Patrick Mahoney; and many nieces and nephews.
