Humorist Jerry Zezima, who is a Stamford native, writes a humor column for Tribune News Service and is the author of six books, including his latest entitled One for the Ageless: How to Stay Young and Immature Even if You Are Really Old. The work is a fun and irreverant collection of reflections on aging.
In his meditation on the funny sides of the golden years, Jerry will take us on one retirement adventure after another, introducing us to his long-suffering wife, his kids and grandkids, and all the antics he gets involved in from story to story.
Kirkus, in its laudatory review, observes that Jerry is a natural storyteller, never more delightful than when readers suspect he might be, shall we say, exaggerating, adding that his comic timing is impeccable, and neatly balanced with his self-deprecating humor. Even though serious subjects come up (failing health, Covid-19), the author very winningly never takes himself too seriously.
Jerry has a strong social media presence, has made many radio and television appearances, has done several YouTube videos, is a popular public speaker, and is writing a sitcom. He also has a blog: jerryzezima.blogspot.com.
Jerry lives on Long Island with his wife, Sue. They have two daughters, five grandchildren and many creditors.
