I had the honor and the pleasure of being included in many Rekowski family events over the years and was very fond of Jerry Senior as I frequently referred to him in my conversations with Alex. He was always a gracious and generous host and very easy to talk to. I am quite shocked and sad to hear of his passing and pray that he is at peace.

And to his family I can only express my most sincere condolences.

Jerry is my dad, & i already miss him more than words can express. I am so greatful to have him as my father, & im even more greatful that i got to have him on this earth for 30 years of my own life. Dad, i really wish you had lived long enough to witness the birth of your granddaughter you so looked forward to meeting. Now, i guess you can witness it from heaven! I love you so very much, Dad.
