Jerry was a graduate of the Elizabeth High School in Elizabeth, New Jersey.  Following high school, Jerry enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and he served his county during the Vietnam War.

In addition to his parents, Jerry is predeceased by his step-son, Vincent M. Vito and his brother, John D. Stancheck.
