Such a wonderful, good hearted man. Always a welcoming smile at church, or even early mornings at Planet Fitness in Raymond. So many times Jérôme would drop by goodie vegetable bags for our family. For years he would waive as I or my wife Jennifer, would pass his house either running , walking or biking. Always enjoying an occasional visit to catch up
on things. He lived his life as an example, deeply rooted in his faith. God bless him! Michael, Dierdre and Jennifer Remick

I also am sorry for your loss. Jerome's passing was also a great loss to his friends and to the R.A. Mitchell American Legion Post in Epping. Over the many years, "Jerry" was a tireless worker for the Post and a great friend to all who knew him. We will all miss him.

Jason, Vicky, Chris, Marty and Angel you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May your fond memories bring smiles to your faces and may you find comfort from those who surround you during this difficult time. Our family has many fond memories of our times spent at the Farm and being spoiled and allowed to stay up late . He generosity at Christmas and when he hosted so many family gatherings will not be forgotten. He was a character and loved to tease and get a rise out of you but left you with a grin on his face! Jerome may you find peace in the company of Jesus and those who have gone before you to prepare a reunion and some card playing.
Love and prayers from Aunt Clara, Roy and Renee
