Jerry use to do me (Keven)and my sisters Mia and Monica's Jehri Curls for over twenty years. We had many great conversations over the years. I use to love watching the old blk/white movies on his TV, while my hair dripped in the sink. He use to call us the Jehri curl girls.Then I had my own daughters and he continued to do ours as well. He never kept his wealth of knowledge to himself. He eventually talked me through the process of how to do a curl and needless to say; I began doing my own. He was a family man, who loved his wife, son, daughter in law, his granddaughter and great-grandchild. He will certainly be missed. He was a fine Christian, business man and friend.
