I had the pleasure and honor of having Jerry help me with the Civitan snack bar. He was right there by my side and I am so greatful that I had him there to hold my hand though it. He had a smile that lit up a room, and it never failed no matter what kind of day I was having if Jerry showed up his smile would make me smile. I truely feel blessed to have known such a wonderful person. I know that Jerry has a front row seat to all the baseball games now! Jerry you will be missed so much by me and my family.

Since I first met Jerry and all the years that followed Jerry called me his Angel or Sunshine. Little did he know that whenever I seen him he was the one that was making me smile and brightening up my days. I am thankful that God put Jerry into my life and allowed Jerry to teach me so much about giving and caring about others. Thank you Jerry you are forever in my heart and the heart of my kids. Smooches.

I always thought a good goal in life was to have a big funeral. Jerry will. He was loved by people involved in so many different things, giving generously of his time and energy, even when they were limited. You will never be replaced, my friend.
