Jerry and Jim Willoughby are the two sons of Charlene and Tim Willoughby. Jerry is the older by about a year.^HT2 Their parents settled from their bohemian life just as Jerry was starting kindergarten, with Tim as an insurance agent and living in Hawthorne, Michigan.

They seemed to be nice guys, but straight, and Jim seemed to want to follow after his father, as an insurance agent, rather than a musician. Jerry wasn't sure but what that might not be a bad idea for him, too.^HT2 Jerry attended Grand Valley State University and worked the summers as an intern in the insurance business for his Uncle Mel.

The brothers were the first two people to see Dayna Berkshire and Sandy Beach as Jeanie and Jennie in their attempt to lighten up the otherwise very straight young men.^HT10 As intended, the girls helped the brothers break from being too ernest. Both soon had girl friends. "Jerry brought a girl home from Grand Valley over Christmas... And Jim has a fairly serious girl friend himself."^HT16

Jerry married a girl named Kate and both were surprised at the appearance of the Genies at their wedding reception. Jerry had told Kate about what the girls had done for him.^HT17 Tim later claims in 1994 to be a grandfather, presumably by Jerry and Kate.^HT23
