Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord and let the perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. The parish families at St. Francis de Sales Church
I worked at Neway with Jerry for many years. His office door was always open to talk about life in general or issues involving work. I'm sorry to hear of Jerry's passing.
Jerry was not only my brother-in-law but also my friend. I spent a lot of time with him talking about sports and life, and he was always very kind and wise. When I needed a male figure during college, he stepped up to help me buy a car. When I needed help moving to Ann Arbor for my doctoral program, he drove with me, offering me ideas on how to navigate my new surroundings. He wasn't required to do this, but he did, and it made a difference.
Thank you, Jerry.
When my time comes to enter Heaven, (fingers crossed) I'll look for a big smile and a Honolulu-colored sweatshirt.
