From the piece on Bloodhorse:

"Jerkens was born on April 21, 1929, in Islip, N.Y. He was enthralled with horses from the start, beginning to compile a scrapbook of his favorites when he was in kindergarten. Among his clippings were reports of Omaha's Triple Crown win in 1935, the first horse he said he remembered."

Talk about someone who spent his life doing what he loved. Condolences to his family, and what a wonderful run he had!
