Uncle Jerry was quite a guy. I remember him trying to teach us how to slot car race in the basement and allowing me to lower on a string his model of the lunar module he made when Apollo 11 landed on the moon. I remember the last time I saw him when we all got together when Gramma passed. He always had that Gaskill look about him. Just like Grampa and his brother Sam.

My Father and I spent a lot of time together working on a huge Barbie Doll House.
He made sure everything was to scale. He cut the siding, shingles, windows and even went to my brothers house to measure the pull down attic stairs. He handmade the hardware. We spent so many days working on this wonderful project. We had lunch together and got to know each other better. I will always love him. Camping, flea markets, fireworks, lake, boardwalk, and county fair are some of the things he liked to do.
