Jerry was born to the late George Francis Black and Theresa Marie Black (O'Keefe) on October 4, 1939 in Atchison, KS. He was the youngest of nine children. He graduated from Maur Hill High School in 1957. Jerry and his late wife, Alette Feldkamp, lived for nearly 30 years in Prairie Village, KS and Lake Lotawana, MO.
In the late 50's, Jerry built rocket engine parts to power Minuteman missiles in a secret location in San Jose, CA. While still living in CA, he entertained his host of nieces and nephews while working in quality assurance for Mattel Toys. Upon returning to the Kansas City area, Jerry worked for KC Flour Sales and completed his career as a Tool and Die Maker.
Jerry was an active member of St Ann's Catholic Church in Prairie Village, KS and Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Lee's Summit, MO when living at Lake Lotawana. Jerry and Alette loved to travel to Reno, Lake Tahoe, Hawaii, and Cannon Beach, OR. During their retirement years, they became snowbirds during the winter months in Panama City, FL.
