Gerald Robert Rossi

Jerry and my dad were best friends. We used to go to lunch together all the time and laugh and joke about all the folks back at EH Crump. They both had comb over hairdos. If it was windy we had to enter on the leeward side of the building to protect the "flap" as they called it.

One time when leaving for a golf trip. They laid Doc´s golf clubs down behind the car, forgot and backed over the clubs and crushed several of the clubs. Doc cussed and cussed and ended up borrowing clubs from the country club pro.

In addition to Jerry's many talents, he was very artistic. For a period of time, Jerry would make personalized birthday cards with a beautiful watercolor painting on the cover. The one he sent me was so unique, I had it framed and it hangs on a wall in our home. Something I will always treasure.

My dad, mentor, best friend and real life hero. I love you dad.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
