Charlotte, I am sad that Jerry has passed
Away, but I know he is not hurting any longer and is celebrating with his Savior
And Mom and Dad and everyone that has
Gone before him . We will miss him but
He will be waiting until we will all join
Him . As I have said so many times we
Must have all of us to get together, bring
Food and talk and all the things we did
When we got together for Grandpa’s
birthday or the Easter Egg hunts we had
Love you Cousin , Barbara
Our prayers for the family. He was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed by everyone who had a chance to meet him.
I’m so sorry to learn of the passing of Uncle Jerry. I have fond memories of him from my childhood. My family and I were lucky to meet him again a few years ago and my two boys were so impressed to meet “a real Marine”! Thank you, Uncle Jerry, we’ll miss you but we’ll always love you!!
