I just learned of Jerry’s passing and was saddened at the news. My cousin Jerry was a life long friend with whom I enjoyed sharing time and memories. He will be missed! I extend my greatest sympathy to his family. God’s peace be with you.
Jerry was a friend and a neighbor. We first met Jerry when we bought our condo 7 years ago when he was the seller’s Realtor. We got to know Jerry better through our neighborhood card group. He always had a quick smile and was always friendly and happy! He will be missed! Our heart felt condolences go out to Pat, Nancy, Jerome and the rest of the family.
