Our deepest regrets to Connie, Eleanor, Joyce and Rick for your loss. When Jerry was back for his fathers funeral he came over and we visited for several hours about the good old days.

When Jerry was roomates with Kerry and Tim in the winter months we would get together and play pinochle and drink beer until the sun came up We had so much fun! Jerry was a part of our wedding, A Cousin and most of all a friend! WE will truely miss you Jerry and we will see you again
