I am so grieved. I just learned of Jerrys passing. We were lifelong friends, we went to school together and although we didnt see each other a lot in our recent years, I still consider Jerry as one of my best friends.
I am so sad, I am so sorry for Jerrys family and loved ones.

Knew Jerry since the 4th grade. We had a nice conversation at our 50th high school reunion. We were hopeful for a transplant, but we both agreed to pray for one another. Thoughts & prayers to all the family..
