Although I only knew Jerry for 14 years, he instantly became a dear friend as I'm sure was the case with anyone who met him. His smile, his sense of humor, his personality and that contagious laugh of his is truly missed but never forgotton. He will live on in the memories of so many. Rest In Peace, my dear friend.

You always be loved and Miss thank you for all you advise and funny jokes
