Jerry was a dear neighbor and he will be missed. He loved Frank Sinatra music, and gave me a tape of Frank for my listening pleasure. So nice.

I remember Jerry coming into the Star of the Valley Office with his check book and requesting Masses for those friends who have passed. Now, we will be remembering him as he did with his friends.......John

So sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. We were not close friends but often socialized at Italian American functions and I very much enjoyed his company, and occasional telephone calls to invite me to join him and other's of our ancestry to events where we could share stories about our backgrounds and familes.
