Jerry was a veteran of the United States Army. While in the Army, Jerry was a golden glove boxer. In his younger years, he drove truck and delivered Cott Soda to the surrounding area. He was also a part-time police officer for the Town of Jaffrey for 20 years. On September 6, 2025, he received a retirement police badge from the Jaffrey Chief of Police in appreciation for his service!

Jerry was a stone mason in the surrounding area. He did a lot of stonework for the Cathedral of the Pines and East Hill Farm. He also built a large retaining wall on the corner of Main Street and Payson Road in Rindge, NH. He was the best in his field, if someone needed a chimney built, or a stone wall, he was the man to call. Jerry also worked most of his life mowing and plowing the roads for Jaffrey. Many people would see him driving his tractor along the sides of the road with his straw hat on! People would wave and say, “Hi Jerry”! He was a generous man and often worked for free for people who couldn’t afford to pay him. If you needed something that he had, he would give it to you. After raising a family of five on a small farm in Jaffrey, he met and wed the love of his life Gloria (Hammond) Marrotte. Jerry spent his time camping and fishing on the beaches of Cape Cod with his wife and his sister Jane.

He grew a large vegetable garden every year with his son Jerry. They took meticulous care of it and the end result was astounding, he was always so proud of it! Jerry loved his music! He played in a band growing up with Ace Hartwell and Tiny Gagnon. They often played at the Fitzwilliam Sportsman Club. There was a time he was on Channel Two, singing “mule skinner blues” which he would brag about! He loved singing and playing his guitar and having “Open Jams” with his family. He loved playing music with his friend Moe Gagnon, “Boy could he play!” he would say! And singing all the old country music. He also loved to dance with his wife Gloria. He loved talking about old times and the time he spent in the service. He had a wonderful sense of humor!! Most of all he was a family man, that meant the most to him. He was a wonderful father, husband, friend and teacher. He will be truly missed. There will be a celebration of life later to be determined and will be posted for anyone who would like to attend.
