He had many answers for me when I asked. I am grateful for him taking me into his home with his daughters when my brother Steve was in hcmc fighting for his life. I think of him often thinking what his advise would be to me now at this time in my life. I love and miss you Jerry!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jerry may not have been into Disney, but with all the kids, he had to have heard much of it. Recent comments from a friend made me think of Disney's Stitch, who says wonderful things about family that Jerry would have said:
"This is my family. I found it, all on my own."
"Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten."
Jerry made family of many people who will not forget him. Love

I worked with Jerry for many years at Dayton’s. He was a GREAT person to work with. He always had a positive attitude about everything. He talked about you and the girls often and I knew his family was everything to him. I am sorry I can’t make it but know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.
Remember the good times.
