Uncle Jerry was a very special man. He was such a wonderful brother to my dad and a kind and gentle uncle to me. I have so many cherished memories when I think about Auntie Barbara and Uncle Jerry. They will always have a special place in my heart. You will be missed.
Love,

Jerry was a special kind of a friend to me. Not only did we work together for years, but we shared some very, very funny moments together in a pup tent while in the Army Reserves. Recently we were also computer buddies, once more sharing laughs. God Bless you Jerry, I know he has a special place for you. Tony DiLorenzo

My fondest memories of Uncle...
Every time I looked in my mother and fathers wedding album growing up I thought what an incredible handsome man. The times he and auntie would stop by work to visit me. Made me feel so special. And every year I would receive a Christmas card signed Love Uncle Jerry. I will miss that most of all.

Uncle Jerry was someone very special to us. He was our resident carpenter and plumber after Dad died, and we shared a lot of laughs and memories over the years. I guess 28 Flint Street is now a monument to some great men who have passed. LOVE ALWAYS,

Where do you start to list all the times you had us laughing with all of your crazy jokes. From herding small children into closets while humming on kazoo's; to ham slapping a innocent niece into stunned shock; or sending your sis-in-law the same 100 year old birthday card for several years. Find happiness once again with Auntie and peace in your heart. Love your niece

You are truly going to be missed. We love and cherish all the summers we spent together down the cape - especially the ones involving "sea gulls!" Your antics and practicle jokes always kept us amused- to say the least. Your ability to tourment ALL the generations of children in our family with practicle jokes should have earned you a medal! Always the jokester. We will miss you dearly.
Love
