I am so shocked with this news. We had lost contact after High School. I remember the fun times growing up and helping each other with the chores that our dads gave us the night before. You had the best dog in the neighborhood - Mac. He would find his way to our back porch at dinner time. I was thinking about you yesterday and had no idea as to why. To your wife and children i am so sorry for your loss! I can't imagine your grief and sorrow. I will be praying for you!

My deepest sympathies to the Tomasetti family. Jerry was always good to me. We shared a birthday and he was always the first to text me. Always beat me to it. He was a hell of a personality and he will be missed. Blessed Be.

Jerry and I were second cousins - our grandfathers were brothers and his father Ben and my mother Marie Tomassetti were first cousins. Although I only remember meeting him once, years ago I'm sad to loose a family member and send my condolences to his (our) family.

My heartfelt condolences for the great loss of such a wonderful classmate, friend and all around husband, and father. Jerry was always full of the most delightful stories that would keep one in good spirits and laughing. May his good legacy live on for all to remember. God's blessings over his family and many friends.
