Jerry was as nice a man as one could be in addition to being a great athlete. Following Jerry from Mt. Carmel to Michigan he was always there for help and advice. He was truly a gentle giant who was respected deeply by everyone. To Pearl and the family the legacy will never be forgotten about this truly great guy. God bless all the Marciniaks.
