To Jerry's nephew Peter LoConto Jr. and the whole LoConto Family, My Deepest Condolences. He was a Good and witty man. My father Anthony played with Perry Conte and knew all the Conte's well for many years, all of whom I was very fond of.
I know they were all Loved and will be Missed by many throughout the Worcester area. Truly an end of an Iconic Era. And with the passing of Freddy Holovnia who taught me jazz and bass, and they all knew each other, makes it especially true. The memories...

I grew up on Gage Street, on the second floor, above the Loconto household. I remember Jerry as a very kind, wonderful man. My family moved away when I was 9 but, I saw Jerry many times over the years. I visited him last year and he was same quality guy. Most decent, respectful person you will ever meet. A music talent. Such a loss for everyone.
