Jerry was my Irish Dancing teacher for 12 years. I always enjoyed our Tuesday night classes even if he was yelling Jesus Mary and Jerry when we messed up a step. :) it was nothing for him to stop by our house with a box of donuts to check on us. I'm thankful he was such a large part of my childhood.

Jerry was my Irish dancing teacher as a child. He always had a joke and a smile on his face. I have enjoyed seeing him every year at Fox's St. Paddy's Day weekend. He will be missed!

Jerry was my Irish dancing teacher from 1958 to 1962. I absolutely adored that class. Jerry was a character and related to all of us kids very well. Very sorry to hear of his death. His wife Jean was very nice to us kids as well.
