Thoughts & prayers to the enormous family that Jerry left behind - you should be very proud of him & his legacy. Many interactions with all types of people & he was always comfortable, speaking of the love for cars but most notably for telling his friends about the pride of his life - his family!! Hold onto all the memories & never forget the lessons he passed along to each of you. RIP Jerry ... until we meet again.
