With Deepest Sympathy to Pat and Jake and to all of Jerry's family. He will be missed very much. Jerry and Pat and Jake always made us feel like family everytime we went to the store or just went by and waved. He was a wonderful person with always a wonderful smile on his face always willing to lend a helping hand. May God Bless You all at this time of sadness and Jerry is now watching over you from above.
