Jerry's family, I am sorry to hear about the passing of Jerry. We worked together at stop & shop in norwood for many years. Jerry would greet me with a hello before going up to the time clock. I enjoyed our talks together. I've missed watching him jam to his music outside. Jerry I will miss you very much. Lisa
