Jerry & Family, My sympathy On the passing of Jerry (Husband & Father).
Jerry & I were basketball teammates at Edison. He was a great teammate & friend, & was liked by all his classmates. We have visited on occasion over the years since graduation. My only regret is that we did not visit more. He was always pleasant & we had interesting talks. In my book he was one of the good guys. He will be sorely missed. Frank Molinaro
