Jerry was one of the most competitive individuals I ever played with or against. His commitment to family was unmatched, and if he liked you, he´d do anything for you. Big heart, bigger than most knew, he left behind a fantastic wife, whose place in heaven is without question. Miss you Boo, keep a spot open for me on the team.
