We were deeply sadden by the passing of Jerry. Jerry had an effect on all those who he met and will always be remembered as a sweet and kind man, and a smile to go along with it. We have lost a good Armenian, but God has called him home for heavenly duties. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.

Jerry will be greatly missed. He was such a sweet and gentle man. He always had a smile on his face. God bless.
