Jerry always had me laughing there wasn’t a time where there was a straight or sad face in the kitchen.
Jerry was a great man and coworker. Always had a good joke amd a smile. He will be greatly missed.
Sorry for your loss. May the good Lord help you find peace.

My Deepest condolences to the Family.. Jerry was my Neighbor for a few years and Friend. Such a wonderful man. You are truly missed.. I’ll see you at the crossroads my Friend.. Rest in Heaven. Gone but NEVER FORGOTTEN
So sad to hear.. Many many happy memories of growing up with Jerry. From grade school to our young adult lives.
I fondly remember stopping over often to visit with Jerry at his family homestead on 37th st. driving his sister Jill and brother Paul crazy at times. I regret not connecting with Jerry over these recent years.
Rest in peace my friend…
