Jerry was a wonderful man who was very caring and loved the people he was with. He taught me a lot about life and he will be greatly missed.

My deepest sympathy to you Maxene, and to your family. I feel like Jerry was a member of my family, too. I was Jerry`s barber for the last 25 years, as was my father (Ness) for 35 years before that. I can remember when Jerry came in the barbershop with all 3 boys in tow. I`m sure that you, Maxene, remembers those days, too. He will be sadly missed by the Orlando family. Ernie & Sarah Orlando

Although I have not seen the family for many years...my memories always will be of respect and love for Jerry . I think the address was 1011 Harvard Street. I used to roam the house as a little boy aware of all the crevices and hiding places. Uncle Murray taught me how to bowl and play golf..and Aunt Gertie was always there with her "one liners"
My sympathies to Maxine and the family. I am very saddened.
Love,
Steven Bronstein
