Jerry was a unique individual with many interests. He was a nice guy and good natured who grew up with a large Family of cousins, aunts, and uncles. He learned to be independent and to follow his interests that were suited to his skills.
We are sorry for this loss.
May God bless him and his Family and Friends.
