Jerry was so full of energy and had a huge personality. I am so happy that Mary and I were able to spend time with him and Aunt Karen in Las Vegas a year ago. We will miss you Jerry.

Gerry was my favorite Dancing Dad. He and Erin made a great team. I will always remember him knowing all the words to "If I Only Had a Brain" from the Wizard of Oz. He laughed and told be Erin watched so many times that he knew it by heart. He always made me smile, he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
