I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since Gerry lost his battle with Cancer.
It seems like yesterday we were sharing drinks in the basement bar. I miss you my friend. Continue to Rest In Peace.

I remember growing up next to the Kaczor family, we had some good party times swimming and block parties. Mr. Kaczor will for sure be missed but know that he is out of pain now. Remember the fun times will keep him with us. Rest in Peace! Prayers from our family to yours.

Kaczor Family
A SILENT PRAY
The toll of the ship’s bell reminds us of the reverence we owe to our departed Shipmate and to those who guard the honor of our country upon the sea, under the sea, in the air and upon foreign soil. Let it be a reminder of the faith they confide in us. Let us who gather here not forget our obligations and in silence breathe a prayer for our absent Shipmate. Fair Winds and Fallen Sea.

To all of Jerry's Family,

We are so sad to hear of his passing. Jerry was a very special person who always had a twinkle in his eye a mischevious smile and a story to tell. He gave the best hugs. He will truly be missed. I remember his all the dedication and love he gave to each and every boy in Jake's cub scout den and in Troop 864. His life was a blessing to us all. He's truly earned his wings and is soaring in heaven.

Uncle Jerry, Also Brother to surving sister Dianne Caldbick ( Kaczor )  so sad to see you go. A lot of years have passed with no communication. you will be missed, but not forgotten. I will remember all the great pool parties, pinching nipples till I thought they were gonna fall off. To this day, yet I was probably only 7 years old or so, I still put beer on my BBQ chicken when cooking on the grill. I have too say Uncle Jerry was a GREAT cook! As a kid I remember being the one ALWAYs getting hurt, jumping off the bed to a red furry bean bag chair and missing it, running down the stairs with a bloody nose. LOL. I have too mention the black poodle that resopnded too " God Damn It " I actually use that today on my dogs.  Like I said i have a lot of great Memories. I will never forget you! May you be at peace, I Love you! Love your nephew, Christopher Klubek-Will.
