Jerry touched me with his sweetness in character & suckers. Every time I see a dum dum or tootsie pop I will think of him. All he wanted to do was share them.
I was not blessed enough to know him very long, but as long as I did he made an impression on me.
Many thoughts going your way as you celebrate his life.
