just to be with him. Jerry always took great and sincere concern in all aspects in your well being. He was an honorable person whom I will never forget. My sincere sympathy

Jerry was a warm, sincere gentleman. One always knew where they stood with him, and I appreciated that greatly. When he spoke, it was always a conversation, not a one-way street. He'd always start his phone conversations to me with: "How are you, my dear?" and you knew he genuinely cared. I am smiling even as I write this because the thought of Jerry always brings a smile. Weren't we lucky to have him? My thoughts and prayers are with you.
