Dear Carol and Family,
Roni and I are profoundly saddened by the passing of Gerry. We were late in getting the news, but time goes by so fast and we don't stay in touch as we should.
The short time I knew Gerry will always remain as a warm memory of his life and my fun times with him.
Please know the Roni and I are deeply saddened by his loss, and may Gerry Rest In Peace and in time ease all of your sadness and know that he is now in a better place.
Please keep in touch if you like.....
Don and Roni, Largo Fl.

Heaven gained an angel... Uncle Jerry you were a lifetime of fun... an inspiration to many .. so much more I can continue to say BUT all you would want is for me to smile and I take pride for you being my uncle. There are flags for your victories; cars for your great business that will continue in your name and smiles that you put on everyone's face.
RIP...Uncle Jerry xo
