Jerry was born February 9, 1939 in Pontiac, MI to Henry and Gertrude Carroll.

Upon graduating Oxford High School in 1957, he joined the U.S. Navy as a photographer aboard the USS Midway with the Seventh Fleet in the Western Pacific. Jerry served in the Navy for four years in Guam, Hong Kong, Japan, Okinawa, the Philippines and Pearl Harbor.
