As a decorated Vietnam veteran, he served his country with patriotism & pride.
Jerry was predeceased by his brother Joe and sister Anita. He leaves behind his wife of 43 years, Dale, two nephews, Andrew Kaminsky and Michael Kaminsky, one great-nephew, Kian.
Thank you to the nurses and doctors at MD Anderson Cancer Hospital for their exceptional care and compassion. A special thank you to his dear friend Dr. Morris Geffen.
