Jerry was the nicest, most caring and compassionate person. He was a confidant for me through some of my darkest days. Minette, I am so sorry for your tragic loss. You made him light up! My prayers are with you and the kids. Much love Diana White

I remember when I met Jerry on his first day at UMMS. It was a weekend. I recall his warm smile and lighthearted humor especially when he talked about a certain Peds Anes .
I miss him, he was a great guy and coworker.
The world is a little gloomy without him.
Rest in peace Jerry !
