I have had the privilege of being in Uncle Jerrys company many times. He was a sweet man who loved my Neice and nephew very much. My heart goes out to his whole family for losing a wonderful man. The world would be a better place if there were more Uncle Jerrys in the world With love and sympathy Lisa Schneider
felt like he was an uncle to all of us! so lucky that all of you had each other in your lives! xoxo
