To Ryan and Family.. I am sad to hear of your loss of your dad. I had only met him once at his benefit, However, once was enough, to know he was a very decent man,. Only time will allow you to smile again, at the mention of his name. I will always think of your dad, everytime, I put on my Jiggin For Jerry Shirt. And whenever someone mentions the shirt to me, I will tell them, I am proud to say I knew your Dad !
