Hi Sweetheart, the four of us were so busy having fun together that I finally realized I had never really sat down to tell you how proud you have made me over the years. On your own you pulled yourself up from a really rough childhood and it amazes me when I think about it. To say I miss you is under statement of the year. You will always be in “AUNTY BABA’S” heart.

Uncle Jerry,
How dearly I love you Jerry in so many ways. I am so very saddened by your death, yet I take comfort knowing you are with our precious Lord and you will live forever in His Kingdom.
You are perfect now, you have no pain nor suffering and you are happy and at perfect peace.
I find peace knowing you are watching over all of us now.
God has you close to Him now and I can’t wait to see you in Heaven! There we will all be brought back together and we will NEVER have to say goodbye again. We will be rejoined for eternity, amen.
I remember as a little girl, you were always so kind and loving. You took the time to play with me and make me feel so special. I remember all the family gatherings, watching you dance. I remember watching you dance with my mother. I have always cherished that time. You had a huge smile, so did mom and I remember she looked so beautiful as you two danced and laughed.
I always looked up to you, I always will. You really made a difference in my life in so many ways.
As an adult you were always so much fun to be around. You spoke fondly of my children, Kara, Sydney and Dustin. You told me I was a good mother and I had wonderful children.
The last thing you said to me is you were proud of me, with a big bear hug attached. I can’t tell you how much that means to me. I will cherish that the rest of my life.
You told me what was right with me and made me feel good about myself. You helped me grow in so many ways. Your love and your true caring means so much to me.
It seemed as though it was one of your purposes in life to make sure everyone was having a good time no matter what we were doing, and a good time we always had. You had the gift of joy. That is a gift from God. From you I learned to laugh and enjoy the moment andlet go of the past, and live for today.
When it came to our serious talks, I always took your councel seriously. You took the time to really listen, care, and help me process things that were so difficult for me to get through, yet, through your help I overcame many things. I thank you so much for that. You helped me move on with life and learn to laugh again and put the past behind me and let go of hurt. That, Uncle Jerry, is a very special gift I will always treasure.
I will always remember you with laughter, love, and a true example of what family really means and how important family is. You were a wonderful husband and a wonderful father. You walked through your life with love, laughter and true concern for your family as well as our extended family and your friends. You loved so big, what a heart you had for people. What love you possessed. That kind of love is also a gift from God. Thank you. You passed along the gift of love and laughter.
I loved hearing you call my mom “Swass”, that was so special and enduring. She loves you like a son and you brought so much happiness to her life. The relationship you and my Mother had was very special, a true gift.
I loved watching you and my Dad banter. He laughed so much as did you. You and Molly were always guarenteed to show laughter and happy memories. That I thank you for too. My parents are really hurting from the loss of you as is my sister Sandy and my brother Steve. You had special relationships with all of us. Each was unique in it’s own way. Diverse love,what a gift. I pray my family can find comfort in knowing they will be with you again in Heaven.
So many people come and go through a persons life. Then there are the “special” people who really make a difference in my life as well as others that you touched.
You are one man who made such a difference in my life and I don’t know if you ever even knew the true impact you made in my heart. I thank you for that and will carry all of my memories forever.
Molly, I am so sorry for your loss, there just are not enough words or emotions to express the sorrow I feel for you. The love that sparkled in your eyes every time you looked at him was a beautiful sight to watch, true love. He had the same sparkle in his eyes. What love you two shared, what a beautifu

I’ve known Jerry since 7th grade when I went to school and played football with Rich. He was a great father and a great guy. My deepest sympathy and condolences to Rich and his family.
