My dearest friend, Patty A, I am so sorry for your loss. I thank Jerry for bringing you into our life, you are truly a good friend. The four of us have been through a lot together, we have laughed and cried together, but we could not have made it through our tradgedy without the two of you. He was my friend for 35 years and Ed's for 58 years, Godfather to my daughter. I am a better person because the two of you were a part of our lives. He is a wonderful man and I was blessed to know him and will miss him terribly. Words can not express how we feel, but you know. Our only solice is that he no longer has that damn parkinsons and we will be reunited someday-not too soon I hope! I am here if you need me and thank God for your children, they are sent from God to help you. I love you, best friends forever.

Pappa Jerry was an inspiration to all who knew him--He was a wonderful neighbor to Jeannemarie and "Rochie"and was loved by all who met him--15 years ago when we met him his honesty and sincerity impressed us so much--He did not deserve the hand he was dealt and sure played it with grace and class--He was a super Pappa Jerry to my grandbabies and we will remember and love him forever--Rest in Peace our dear friend--Thank You for all you did for my family. Our deepest sympathy goes out to his wonderful Children and Grand Children--

My Uncle Jerry is the warm memory of the happy man who just served me a fresh drink from behind his bar, and with his broad mustached smile and tooth pick, is about to tell the most amazing story from the life of a fireman.

I'm happy to know that your stories will live on, and your spirit continues to live in your children and grandchildren. Uncle Jerry influenced many lives in many good ways.

Pat , Michelle & Family:
I had such a liking for Jerry as alot of people did. He was so kind and had a great laugh. I know he is having a beer with Uncle John right now and laughing we are getting snow this week.
I had the opportunity to talk with him at Mark Quinn's wedding in June. My heart went out to him for all the medical problems and obstacles he had to deal with. Never once complaining. He is in a better place and I pray to God finally not suffering. My prayers are with you and your family during this time.
God Bless you all,
