As a friend, neighbor, and ancestor of our homestead, Jerry was very special to us, Thom and Patti Bertolacini. When visiting his property in Newark, Jerry would often stop by to visit us as well. He shared our love of the woods and nature and was kind to allow us to walk his trails and hunt on his land. He will be missed very much and remembered fondly.
