The afternoon rain brought a smile to my face...Jerry loved sitting on his patio listening to the rain. He was truly an amazing father, a wonderful friend and a very special man.

My thoughts and prayers are with Jerry's family at this sad news, It just seems like yesterday we got our blue camaro's at 16 and felt like the kings of the world. I'll hold on to a lot of great memories of those times. Rest in Peace, Brother!

Our hearts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. There will never be another Jerry. He was truly one of a kind. I will forever treasure my childhood memories with him. The news was so shocking for me. It seems like just yesterday we were two crazy kids causing trouble and fishing and playing football at "poopie park". Doing karate and riding his mini bike. He will be missed. I am thankful for the time we had together just a few days ago. I will forever hear his voice in my head "yo Z... I love you". I love you too "babe".

My condolences to LeAnne and children. Sorry for your/our loss. Jerry had a wonderful heart and was so giving and funny. I will always remember him and his "handkerchief" and all the fond memories of him as a child and a grown man. His generosity and his big smile made him bigger than life. We will miss you Jerry.
Love cousin Dolores (Palumbo) DiNuzzo

Our hearts go out to Leanne, Meg, Blake, Zach and Caydence. There's nothing we can say that will ease the pain but we will always cherish the many family vacations we spent together and all the good times we had. We are sorry Jerry had to leave so soon. Florida will be a less sunny place without him. There must have been a big party planned in Heaven since Jerry decided to go be with Irv on his birthday.
XOXOXOX
Cousins Stacy, Jerry, Jesse and Jordan
