Jerome was an avid sports fan. He followed LSU baseball and football and loved 
going to The Box and Tiger Stadium. He coached Babe Ruth baseball, and then 
Terrebonne Parish softball as his children got older. He then started umpiring 
for Terrebonne Parish Recreation and the High School Athletic Association. He 
loved it and was very much looking forward to this next season. One of the 
highlights of his life was when he had the opportunity to umpire the 
Cooperstown Dream Park Invitational in 2009. He was also a diehard Saints fan.

He was a past member of the Knights of Columbus Council 1317.

He will be greatly missed by his family.
