Jerry was one the reasons we went to Treasure Island. He always was very friendly. We shared many stories and anecdotes. We saw him two Saturdays ago. I offer you all my heartfelt condolences. We will miss him! Steve Davis

I just saw Jerry Monday; he was someone who always had something good or funny to say. Even after leaving 2 yrs ago, i always wanted to say hi to him when i stopped in. I will miss seeing him. My condolences to his family.

Jerry was wonderful, funny and, most importantly, charitable and caring. When I had NO money, he made sure I didn't go hungry. He always greeted me with "Hi, Jeff's MoM," and asked if I was okay; if everything was all right. I will miss my treasured Treasure Island friend more than I can say.
