My sympathies to all of Jerry's friends and family. Jerry was the first friend I had when I moved into the house and we soon became very close. Although I knew him for such a short time, it was like I had known him for so much longer.

I am not sure that we ever really met even though I frequented some of the same north East clubs. but anyone known as "The Flowerman/Elvis" had to be a special person.

My sincere sympanthy to all of you, Jerry's sister and brothers, and any other family out there.
Jerry was a wonderful, hardworking man!! I have known him I think since I was about six years old, I remember seeing him at Central Bar on Saturday mornings when I was with my dad, then as I grew up and went other places Jerry was always around and always had a smile on his face and said hi. My father bought the King of Clubs and I worked there many years, Jerry was always welcome, he was a great guy and I'm sure will be missed by so many.
Much love and prayers to you all.
