I will miss Magnum PI, aka Jerry with a mustache. Every time I saw him, he would make me laugh with his sense of humor. I wouldn't be where I am today without his support and generosity. He was a dedicated father and a fantastic grandfather to my kids: Ryan, Adam and Alie. Jerry was a blessing to this world. Lee, Bonnie, Ryan, Adam, Alie and entire family, you Are in my prayers.
