Eu não o conheci ..... Mas pesquisei um pouco de sua história e me compadeci dessa perda como se fossemos próximos.
Não sei explicar ..... Só o vi na reforma de sua piscina com o Lucas.
Meus sentimentos a toda família.

Thoughts and prayers to the Raffa Family.
First met Jerry thru our fathers who worked together at Ellis construction. Then at Good Counsel where he was a year behind me. Have not heard the Raffa name in awhile but lots of memories came back when I read this sad news. Mom and all the McAleer's send along their prayers.

I was sorry to hear on the passing of Gerry. I have not been to tour house since Les died July 2018. I did not know that Jerry was ill. Jerry was very good to my inlaws Les and Harriet Stauts. In his younger day he took the car down south every September and brought it back in May. I know that you will be strong and your family will be by your side.
Jerry's spirit will to you in the appearance of a cardinal.. That is an Indian saying. I know I saw Les in the cardinal.
