I´m embarrassed to be writing this eight years after you passed Uncle Jerry but I have such happy memories of you. From "helping" you install new phone lines in the Galva house when I was a little boy to waiting for you to walk through the door at holidays in Geneva to see what awesome thing you brought Willy and me (usually shiny coins,) I will always remember you as someone that everyone else always wanted to be around. I hope I´ve inherited your enthusiasm and sense of humor.
Love, Teddy

My heart goes out to you for the deep loss you must be feeling for your beloved. How sad to lose someone so loved and so needed. May you find comfort in prayer and in one another (Jeremiah 29:12, 13)
