When I think about Jerry I remember the twinkle in his eyes when he was teasing , or saying something witty and funny. He was a kind, quiet man and if you didn’t listen close you would miss a lot of his funny retorts. We, mom (Wanda), my sister (Linda), and me (Jan), had a lot of fun together harmonizing and playing pool, at our uncle bar, SIDS PLACE, in Laurel! He was loved!! See you on the other side Jerry Until then, you will be missed! Janice
