Jerry Greenbaum

Jerry was my father-in-law and I loved (love) him dearly, although I'm not sure he ever knew it.
His gift was turning the most mudane moments of life into fantastic stories that left you hoping you didn't pee your pants and could remember, even just a snippet, to entertain your friends with later. Of course, when you tried, you were always left mumbling "well, it WAS really funny--I guess you had to be there."
In the ensuing silence, you realize what a gift Jerry was to all of us.

Cathy,

I don't know if you remember me or not (I have 2 sisters)but when you, Mr. Greenbaum and Paul would come to Easton's Clayton Tree Farm it would make our day. The tree season was not complete until we saw your family and could tell the rest of ours that you'd been there. Mr. Greenbaum was such a great guy. Always such a pleasure to talk to. We've thought and talked about your family even though we no longer sell Christmas trees. You are in our thoughts.
