I would like to extend my sincerest heartfelt condolences to the family of Jerry Kerr.
I met Jerry at Brookdale and it quickly became apparent how dearly he loved his family. Whenever he spoke of them his face would literally light up. He was so incredibly proud of his children.
He was a kind man and I loved when he smiled because it was so sincere. I never heard him say a negative thing about anyone. He was a joy to work with and I already miss him so very much.
