Not sure what to say?

A year has passed and i still can´t say the words that my heart wants to say I will love you forever and so grateful for all the years we had together and the love we shared. This past year has been journey some days i make by the hour somedays minutes by minute Many memories of you my Jerry K of which I treasure I love you my dear husband and i will carry you in my heart until we meet again so save a place for me Vivian

The first time we met Jerry I knew Vivian had found her soulmate. Jerry was very interested in us and wanted to get to know us both.
We had met a few times for lunch or dinner along with Phyliss and Bob Greytak, our mutual cousins.
It’s so sad that Jerry had to go through all those tests these last few months. Jerry is now at peace. Our deepest condolences to Viv and family.

Jerry had a personality too big to describe in words. Always fun and caring. Although separated by years and miles for some time now, he left indelible memories I will cherish, forever. My most sincere condolences to my Cousin Viv, and all his loving family. He will be missed by so many. I wish Peace for you, Jerry, and comfort for your loved ones.

I first met Jerry as a child and he was introduced to me as Vivian´s boyfriend. It wasn´t long before my mom and dad were driving our family to Virginia Beach for Viv & Jerry´s wedding where they were happily married. I´d never seen my cousin Vivian so happy, as we all were for them both. Jerry was often a prankster and always a fun loving guy. He would always take us kids out for a Sunday car ride when he would visit us in Rockland County when we would all joke and laugh the whole...

I first met Jerry when my sister brought him home to our house to meet the family. He became a regular after that and slowly became part of our family. Even after Vivian and Jerry moved away for Virginia then North Carolina and finally Tampa, we remain ed close making yearly visits, especially at holiday time as their three beautiful children grew into young adults . As time passed my relationship with Jerry changed, in a positive way, and I became more of his brother than brother in law....

I can't even begin to tell you about my Uncle Jerry. He surly was one of a kind. Whenever you needed anything having to do with cars, he was your guy. He helped Anthony & I find our first cars here in Florida and helped some of my friends also. He was always there for me to answer his phone and answer any questions about anything i needed help with. My best memories are of all of us on the boat each 4th of July, drinking cocktails and watching the fireworks. Also there wasn't a birthday or...

Pops, You touched more lives than you could possibly imagine. I know this, because you certainly touched mine all those years ago, when Jacalyn and I became friends, and I practically moved in and never left. You treated me as one of your own from the very first day I met you and I love you like a second father. You were the one I turned to for advice on cars of course. The one thing I remember you telling me, which I still do, is to put a red bow in the glove box of each newly...

My dad was " the guy" if you needed something related to the automotive industry........He knew "a guy" ! But beyond his abilities to sell ice to an Eskimo he was a "family guy" above all else. He was always looking his Sunday best and the first person I ever saw with crisp starched creased jeans. He had many talents from driving and fixing school buses to coaching football and always finding a reason to go get something from the store ! Didn´t matter what store he just liked being out and...

Hello, I became very lucky to have such great neighbors when I moved into the Heather Glen Community. I got to know Jerry as the guy who had the blue truck and was always outside smoking a cigarette with the cutest little dog named Luna. My dog, Magnolia wanted to eat Luna as a snack. When Jerry would see Magnolia and I coming, he would call Luna and walk up his driveway so my dog and I could pass without any issues. Even though my dog would sometimes act a little crazy, Jerry would always...
