In the 70's we where the best of friends. He took me under his wing. He taught me a lot about living. He was classy in everything he did. He was a kind man. I will never forget him. I remember our walks to Baskin Robbins for Ice Cream. The waits for the cakes that were bakes by Jerry's mom. They were delivered from Georgia. It was a very big thing. Many great conversations and I always wanted him to sing "Miss Otis Regrets, she unable to lunch today." I was at his side when he performed at a Staten Island College. The play was called "The Blacks."
The fashion show. The old clubs in Harlem. He didn't drink but we were everywhere. I have lost a piece of my life.

My condolences for your loss. It's times like these when the loving promises of our Heavenly Father can bring us comfort and can soften some of the pain we feel in our hearts. May God grant you guidance, strength and peace during your time of sorrow. 1Thessalonians 4:13,14
