"Jerry was very kind, helpful, generous, funny and sarcastic -- he was the perfect father-in-law and he is missed very much.

I was just remembering things about him... feeding apple slices to his dog, telling of unusual plumbing problems he had to take care of, seeing him on his Harley, remembering him showing off their koi pond in their backyard with the little bridge going over it, showing off his wood whittling.... and of course all the wise cracks. He had a great sense of humor and a good heart."
