I have so many wonderful memories of my Uncle Jerry. I did not get to sign the guest book at the funeral. I was there with my mother, Patricia Hill, his half sister and my daughter Sarah Zurovec. We are all praying for his sons and loved ones.

Jerry will be missed and remembered by me and my family. His jokes, his stories and his wisdom will live on in us. He had a way of influencing our lives in a positive way like no one else could. Things will never be the same now that he is gone. He is now at peace it is left to us to miss him and wonder why and how such a thing could happen.

Jerry was a no- nonsense type of guy, tough and firm. But no matter how tough the facade, you could always see right through to his heart.
I miss you Jerry
