He enjoyed watching TV cooking shows to keep up on the latest meal to prepare, Emeril was his favorite. He spent time watching Civil War documertaries on the History channel and watched practically every Western movie and Gunsmoke re-run there was.
Kerry loved to fish and hunt with his Uncle Sonny and his hunting beagles, of which Kerry raised several, Jake & Jack to mention. Kerry will be in heaven with Uncle Sonny doing a lot of hunting and fishing in the big pond with his good friend Jerry Wilson, Grand Ledge, MI.
