Jerry was my cousin and we used to play Cowboy and Indians when we were kids. I had a small toy Gas Sation as a kid and Jerry sat on it and smashed it. I cried and cried. I surely will miss his jokes . We got to meet several years ago after a long absence and we both were happy to reminisce. May God rest your your Soul.
