We remember our beloved Uncle Jerry as always warm-hearted & cheerful, ready with a good story, a wee bit of a trouble maker and a merry maker. His years with the Navy and the cab company allowed him to perfect the art of long conversations, especially about fishing, movies and sports (Go Hokies!). He had just recently made a deliberate decision to return to be near family in New York after many years away in the Navy and in Virginia. It is deeply unfortunate that he slipped away so soon. We lost a special Uncle and will always remember our special times together.
