I went to middle school with Jerry and this honestly saddens me deep in my heart! While I haven't seen him since then, what I do remember was his personality. We could always count on him to make us laugh.

We, at Hubcap Heaven, loved Jerry. Even after he worked for us, he still came by often with his stories and laughter. He has been a part of the family since we met him, because that's the kind of guy Jerry was. He didn't know a stranger. It's hard to believe we'll never see him or hear about his antics again. He is already truly missed.

Jerry was like my little brother. I met him when he was just 18 years old. He went to school with my sister and worked with me. I was the one who trained him at goodyear. Although I was a bit older than Jerry he taught me a lot and was a big inspiration to me. We partied together, raced each other and our only disagreement was about Chevy vs Ford and which was better. Jerry stood by my side and always backed me up. He stood in both of my weddings and was always a true friend. He was loving, caring and goofy. He was a blast to be around. Jerry my heart aches everyday my brother. I will see you again someday. As for now I'm stuck here on earth constantly thinking about you trying to figure out how to move forward with my life. I love you brother. RIP

Kathleen, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My few experiences with Jerry were memorable in that he seemed to be happy and joyous to be around. I know now it must be very difficult to see God's hand in any if this but I'm sure in due time your answer will come to light with love and comfort. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this trying time. Keep strong my dear sister, calm in the midst of the storm is near. Love, Lenny and family
