Born in Providence on June 18, 1954, he was the son of the late Raymond and Mary (Riley) Morris.  Jerry grew up in the Garden City neighborhood of Cranston with his brothers Joseph, John, the late James Morris, and his sister Jane (Morris) Jackson. Jerry was also cherished by his other sisters Anne Luther and Susan (Luther) Anderson, as well as his brother-in-law David Luther, his wife Jeni and several nieces and nephews.

Jerry worked for many years as a tool designer for ETCO, finishing his career at AMC in the printer/folder industry until first becoming ill in 2007.

Jerry was a lifelong Red Sox fan. Until his illness, he enjoyed spending weekends at his family’s camp in Andover, MA working on projects and appreciating the wildlife and peacefulness of the pond.  From his bench outside his home, Jerry was known as “The Mayor”.
