Jerome was many things to many people. I personally found him to be a type of grandfather/godfather that looked after me. He graced me with his knowledge of Photography, Lewis and Clark history, Alaska memoirs and history, values of true friends, and too many more to count. He was a generous man that thought of others before himself.

This is a man that will be forever truly missed.
