I was genuinely blessed to have known Jerry. From our time together at the IHB, to hockey games to our softball team, it was always a pleasure to be with him.
He made a tremendous impact on the world around him and left an amazing legacy with his family and friends.
Until we meet again, thank you, Jerry. RIP.
