I am very sorry Maureen. Jerry was such a genuinely nice and good man. I always appreciated him asking me to play little league so many years ago. We were both in Annie MacIntyre store (later, Bozo's Dairy) and I was happy to be asked. Jerry coached the Giants and we practiced in Mount Carmel Scool yard. I remember him telling us--paraphrasing here--not to be tapping the bat off the bottom of our spikes (sneakers) in imitation of the big leaders when batting up. Just concentrate and play the game. Although, I didn't stick with little league, Jerry's kindness stuck with me.

My deepest condolences to Joanne and Jerry's family. He was kind to everyone he met. I never worked with Jerry at the funeral home, but, when I worked there, Len Leudy spoke highly of Jerry and often told stories of some jokes he played on him. I'm sure Jerry will again meet up with Len again, and will be victim of more of Len's jokes. Rest Easy Jerry.
