Jerry was an awesome family man who loved his wife , Muriel, and his sons and daughters! He never missed a ball game and was an avid fan of the team and players. We were sitting together at a basketball game, with zach and my son darrek playing …. they were behind 5 points and 40’seconds left to play. Jerry looked at me and we both said, well, they played a good game.. all of a sudden, darrek stole the ball and zach made a basket…. we won the game after all! Jerry said, you kick me and I’ll kick you for not having enough faith in our kids!! He will be remembered always. I know he is with Zachary and the rest of his family.
