On a lighter note...I know pizza night with our family was always your favorite night of the week! All of us somehow come up with a story about you each time we gather…and laugh. It just isn't the same for my sisters, brother-in-laws and Eva without you! Our nieces and nephews have returned your love and help through the years by always being there to help me too. You were and are loved by all of them too.
I will never stop missing or loving you. We know you are watching over us. Thank you for leaving us such great memories!
Jerry, look down on your wife and keep her safe and sound!
Always in our thoughts, Love, Gloria Jean & Tom

Jerry was loving, supportive, interested, protective & I can't remember one negative thing that he said! He will be sorely missed but he's at peace, stuffing himself with sweets & smiling down on us.
Dear Bunny and Family, we are so saddened with your loss and ours. I enjoyed working with Gerry at the Gateway Buildings in the 1960's when I was across the river. I used to kid him about his never ending questions about elevators. I will miss him. Ron & Rosalie Schloss
