Thanks for the wedding cake we couldn't afford back then. Thanks for the prison cookies all the boys devoured. We looked forward to your surprise visits. Sitting on the porch, chit-chatting, keeping us up to date on how everyone was doing. Laughing about old times. We're missing you already old friend. Love ya

My sympathy to Jerry's family and friends. The last time I saw him and his Mom was when my Mom, Anna Wojciak, passed away(three and a half years ago)- how time flies away. May his soul and the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. Jerry is in perfect health now.

We've had the honor and pleasure of having Jerry as a friend for more than forty years. He was a kind; gentle; compassionate and honest person. In all those years he was happy to celebrate the joys in our lives, shed the tears in our sad moments and he was there to just sit quietly and listen when we would rant about things that were so trivial.
He was devoted to his parents; his church, his friends. Jerry had only kind words for everyone. He always saw the positive in everything. If he was feeling down,he never showed it. Sometimes he would surprise us with homemade bread at Easter or a cake, tomatoes from his garden. He enjoyed our family card games. Jerry liked to travel and in his journeys I just know he forged many friendships. May the hand of God lead him on his final journey.
He will be greatly missed. Our condolences to his family and friends.
