Upon graduating from Jesuit High School in Dallas Texas Jerry moved to Van Horn to help his two brothers Don and John farm cotton. It wasn't too long after that Jerry had his own cotton farm in the Wild Horse Creek area of Van Horn. Farming cotton was very hard back in those days and after several years Jerry decided to move his little family to Post Texas where he began working at the Postex Cotton Mill. He worked at the mill for several years before starting his own business with Conoly's Heating and Air Conditioning. He enjoyed hunting and fishing. He also enjoyed going up into the Davis Mountains. and packing out a deer with his Jack or his Jenny in Van Horn and he never missed an opportunity to be able to get out on the lake and go fishing after moving to Post. However, anyone who knew Jerry, knew his most favorite pastime was shooting pool. He loved the game and loved the challenge of the game.
Jerry will always be remembered as being a helping hand, with a friendly smile.
