Dear Herb and familiy
Sorry to hear about the passing of your brother Jerry. I remember meeting him at the condo in aventura, and while we all watched the super bowl, Jerry gave me some insight into life. "FIGHT HARD,FIGHT SMART AND NEVER GIVE UP"

Sending condolences to you all. My cousin Robin passed the news my way. Don't think I ever met Jerry since I grew up in Philly and live in DC but I'm related through my dad, Stewart, Joe and Mable's son and Ronnie's brother. With Sympathy, Amy
