One of my earliest memories of Jerry is when I was 4 and he was 14. He stayed the summer with us while his mother worked. Im sure it was a huge change from an only child to one of 6. He had a baseball backstop net that the ball would bounce off of and return to the pitcher. What a great invention I was impressed.

As the years went by Aunt Helen would always update us on Jerry´s adventures. Mississippi, New Mexico and Arizona. Finally when Jerry and Teresa returned to the Cleveland area we got to spend quality time with them like the years never happened. Teresa navigate our huge family like a pro.

Jerry had a lot of my father´s mannerisms and his voice sounded almost the same. Every time I heard him speak I would get fond memories of my Dad.

My heart goes out to Teresa and family during this difficult time. Sending love and strength as you navigate through this challenging period.

Love

Cousin Janet
