Jerry, or Uncle Jerry, as he is known to all of his close family, will be missed at our holiday celebrations. He was a great story teller: he informed us about the history of his beloved hometown Boonton, he recalled funny stories about his youth and time with the Coughlan in-laws, who loved him like a son. Uncle Jerry enjoyed travel in Europe as well as the United States. He shared fishing trip adventures, where in his stories, the fish got bigger and bigger with every account. We all understood, laughing together at such recollections. Uncle Jerry never forgot any of his pets. He loved his dogs/cats from a long time ago, especially Dachsen Jennifer and now his new friend Dachshund Elvis. Uncle Jerry will be missed by family and friends. Condolences to Jane and Scott

I don't remember the first time I met Jerry, my memory is long gone, but I will always remember his 'hello' kiss to me every time we saw each other at the Leigh Gorman (BHS) lunches every month in Boonton. You were always a good person to talk to. Thank you for that. You will be missed.
