Jerry was a very kind and generous man who helped me with a difficult personal situation that
I will be eternally grateful for. He and Marcia did many wonderful things for the children at Harrison School
after she retired from teaching there. I will miss him dearly.

I went to church and school with Jerry what a nice guy . My hubby met him in his scuba diving days .
Thinking of his mom, Lois, a kind woman and prayers for peace for all of his family .
