Jerry was such a special person. I have so many amazing memories with him, but i will always remember his contagious laughter and the funny phrases that he would come up with. Jerry always had a way of making my day better. He was so full of life and love and we will always be missing him and thinking about the good times we had with him at Kanthak.
