Jerry Lee Asher was born in Chatfield on December 19, 1940, to Claude and Hazel (Meeker) Asher. He graduated from Chatfield High School in 1958. On October 12, 1963, he married the love of his life, Winn (don’t call her Winnifred) Kay Perley of Rochester.

He retired in 2005 to take up the hobby of woodworking and later became interested in cooking. He loved spending quiet time reading, watching movies, and playing with his granddog.
