He went to Central State, Rochester Institute of Technology and Penn State and earned a Bachelor's Degree in Marketing Management ten years later.

Before then, he spent four years in the United States Marine Corps and was honorably discharged in 1954.

His favorite movie is "The Ten Commandments" and he listens to big band music, rock and roll and Elvis Presley.

The perfect day for him is one where he is in touch with his family.The political office he'd most like to hold is that of President of the United States which he thinks of as the most challenging.

  2. If these houseguests have any strategy ....they will send Jerry packing first. If not, Jerry will probably win the game. Not that I have any problem with that. Just talking strategy.

  7. I think it is so rude of you to speak about Jerry that way. Don't forget the older you become, the more you are going to be like him.
    I've learned to help and look out for people like Jerry (old). Rather than speak very rude things about them. Remember the man is 75 years old.Obviously you don't have older parents or grandparents. Remember it is a game and he doing quite well for anolder individual.

  8. HEY PAST COMMENT: I MIGHT BE A DUMB ---- in your eyes. But I have something you will never have and that is "CLASS"
    Once again I think Jerry, is doing quite well for a 75 year old man in this game. With all of the young people in the house including Renny he is holding his own. A lot of people didn't think he would last this long.

  11. I loved and respected Jerry in the early part of the show. But as time went on he started saying such hateful things and acting like a child rather than an adult. I lost all respect for him. I guess he forgot what he did when he was HOH. Jerry, I hope your family and friends didn't see and hear all the terrible childish things you said and did. The Marines deserved to be represented by someone else. SHAME ON YOU.

  12. I voted for Jerry to get the phone call. I didn't feel that he deserved it, but I felt his wife did. She is an innocent in all of this.
    I feel that Jerry is a mean, disgusting, hateful old man and his age does NOT give him permission to act the way he does. In fact, his age should have taught him to be MORE respectful. To call women a c**t is the most degrading thing anyone can say. How would he feel if someone said that about his daughter or his wife?
    I am a retired Marine and for him to allow others in the house to call him "Colonel" is disrespectful to the Marine Corps. He was in for 4 years - and that was 50 years ago! There is no way he earned a rank more than a Sgt. (and that is being generous)
    It's ok for Jerry to remove his military garb to backdoor someone but not ok for Dan to remove his cross for the same reason? Give me a break!
    Jerry, you are nothing more than a vile, mean spirited, two-faced, misogynistic old goat! The Marine Corps would be ashamed to have you in the enlisted ranks now!
