I was shocked to read in the NE Times this morning that Jerry died. Having worked for him when he was State Rep and helping him on his re-election campaign brings back a lot of memories. Jerry was a good and honest man and in politics that does not always translate. Rest in Peace.

Gloria, Denise and family,
Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of Jerry. I am sorry that I could not attend the service,as I am recovering from surgery.
I still have many fond memories of all of us playing in the alley when we were growing up. Jerry was always a great guy. Peace be with you.

I am still shocked by the news. I am so sorry for you and Jerry. Uncle Jerry will definately be missed. A time that I will always remember about Uncle Jerry was when we went to the Poconos to see the Nascar race. The memory of that day that sticks out the most was when uncle Jerry borrowed my Chicago (the movie) c.d and blarred it to the point that I couldn't sleep, and then started singing out loud to it.lol. He will be missed.

Dear Gloria and Denise,
My late brother Tom played with your brother Jerry when all of us lived in Mayfair. I remember Jerry well, and he was an excellent trombone player in Father Judge High School's band. The both of you, Jerry, Kate, and the rest of the family are in my thoughts and prayers. Like your parents, my parents, and my brother Tom, Jerry is at peace in heaven with God. Remember the wonderful times you had with Jerry. My deepest sympathy is with you.

So sorry for your loss. But I'm sure he's in a better place. I only met him once or maybe twice, but he seemed like a really cool guy.
