Memories and Condolences

Not sure what to say?





March 23, 2010

I recently learned of Jerry's death and wish to extend my family's condolences. I don't know if any of you remember us - The Harris family. I began as Noreen's mother's helper when I was about 10 and you still lived next door to us on Mendota. My father, Jerome, died in 2003. Gussie is now 92. I have great memories of times shared with all the Adler kids, and am also saddened to read of Katie's passing. Hope you are finding solace in your memories.

A great hero, a great player, a great friend!!!! Jerry and I played football for three years at Campion Jesuit High School in Prairie du Chien, WI, graduating in 1949. He was truly a terrific player. When in Chicago this past summer to celebrate our 60th anniversary I was overwhelmed by his courage and dignity as he showed up for lunch in a public restaurant, though clearly having great difficult integrating his speech and breathing. May he enjoy his new found life now with the Trinity. My sincere sympathy to his family and many friends.
