Jerry, Anna, Moira and Nancy, My condolences for your loss. You where very blessed to have such a kind hearted man as father and husband. I have very fond memories of him growing up. Looking back I realized how much of a wonderful father he must have been to you. He gave you the freedom to be who you are, always with encouragement and support. The perfect father. I will always be greatful for having the pleasure of growing up in your home. "Dad" and Nancy where the stability in my life during my childhood and I will never forget that.
My thoughts are with you during this most difficult time.
