Auntie Janice and family,
I can't even begin to tell you how truly lost I feel. He was not only my Uncle, but almost like my second father, after my father passed. He was always there to lend a hand, a silly joke or just to see that I was doing OK. Paul and I especially loved hearing his many excuses (although he'd never admit to that !) as to why he's not out on the golf range.
He'll be with me every day, in my thoughts and my heart...I love you Uncle Jerry, always....

Love, Debbie (and Paul, too)
