Upon discharge he returned to South Dakota and worked as a tool and die maker. In 1969 he and his family moved to Burnsville, Minnesota, and he went to work for Control Data. In 1971 he decided to give sales a try and worked for Schwan's Sales for 29 years. He moved several times with Schwan's serving different positions with the company. In 1999 he retired with his wife to the home they owned in Illinois. Jerry was a school bus driver for Marion Unit 2 Schools for 15 years until health problems forced him to retire. He missed being around the kids and felt he was a positive influence on them.

Jerry was very proud to be baptized on Aug 11, 2015, in the Veterans Administration hospital chapel. He did not know if he was baptized as a child and felt strongly that he wanted to make sure he was before his death. He had rededicated his life to God. Jerry wished to be cremated and after his wife passes away, both will be buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
