I spent many hours/days with Jerry and his wonderful wife, Marge, taking Jerry for medical treatment during his struggle with throat cancer. Jerry was one of the kindest people I have ever known--NEVER saying anything bad about anyone. When Jerry lost his voicebox to cancer, his laugh was missed by many. May his laugh be heard among all the Angels and Saints in Heaven!

Knew Jerry growing up and enjoyed being around his great laugh. Then was surprised years later to run into the two of you at golf couple tournaments, Really enjoyed that. Bless Jerry and all your family.

I will alway remember Jerry for his laughter. Where ever we went that Jerry was, I could hear his laugh, which in turn would make me laugh! Bless you Jerry! Well done good and faithful servant!!! Marge, please know that Jerry is with you in spirit, be open to his showing you he is still with you!

Sending Angels to comfort you! Colleen
