Jerry was such an incredible guy and someone that I will never forget. He truely left his mark in this world. I was always in awe of him.

I only knew Jerry as a patient in my dental office but he touched...

So sad to hear of Jerry's death. The Dorfer family has known him throughout the years and of course shared many stories with Jack and Dad. We will all miss him and keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
