I think of Jerome often when my hometown comes to mind. He is an example of the many benefits of growing up in Napoleon and I am so proud to call him a lasting friend and person with extreme thoughtfulness.

My family, Frank & Rose Wald, Parents, were very proud friends from early times in our lives and carried on throughout time. Jerome was a pallbearer and led the rosary at both of my parents funerals and of course I can not forget the wonderful baseball memories when Napoleon teams meant more than the major leagues. I think of Jerome often and again send my condolences to Christine and Family. May he rest in peace and throw nothing but strikes in heaven. God Bless
