Uncle Jerry will be greatly missed. He was a kind and funny soul who always made everyone feel welcome. He opened his home to me during the summers, and those times created some of my greatest memories. My girls and I are so thankful for the way you opened your doors to the Girl Scout troops, giving them a safe and nurturing space to grow. Your generosity and presence touched so many lives, and we will cherish those moments forever.
