So sorry to know that Jerry passed away. Jerry and I are cousins and are the same age. I remember the good times our families got together many years ago. I know he went through a lot over the years with his health. Thoughts and prayers go out to Jerry’s family! Hold your good memories close to your hearts forever.
Sending condolences to all of Jerry’s family. I was a friend of his at Denbigh High School. We used to hang out in the hallway before homeroom each morning. Hate to hear the news of his passing.
