Uncle Jerry was a one of a kinda Uncle. He was a Very Caring Husband and Very Caring Dad and a Very Caring Grandpa and Uncle. He was always caring about Everyone. You are now a "Angel" watching over your Family From the "Heavens". I will always remember the holidays we had together. I will also remember the Soda Habit we both had. You were a Proud Veteran.

Give Everyone a Hug for Me up in "Heaven"

"Until we meet again Up in Heaven"

I am Lighting a Candle for You,
