We are so sorry to hear about Jerry's. passing. I and my Wife Judy worked with Jerry for many years while at McDonold's. Jerry was a very hard working and dedicated McEmployee. And he was forever talking about his two sons; he was so proud of them.

We offer our deepest and sincerest condolences to the Sass family and we just want you to know what a wonderful man your husband/father was.
