My Ole Best Friend Danny & his sister Christine; My deepest regrets in regard to your brother Jerry's passing. I still frequently recall after all these years with the fondest of memories going to the Island and spending the day playing touch football with you and Jerry. We were fortunate to have been raised in an era when it wasn't necessary as kid's to be under constant adult supervision. Danny I hope both you and Christine and your families are enjoying your lives and are able to continue to do so for many years to come. God Bless Jerry! Buddy Perkins
