Jerry was always a great guy - always looking out for my mother, hosting holiday dinners, taking care of business. My earliest memory of my uncle Jerry was at my grandparents place, somewhere southside, for one of those crowded, smokey, over-heated family get-togethers, in an apartment building that always smelled like pot roast.. He had great mutton chop sideburns! He saw my hand straying towards my nose, and he said "no pickey nosey!". There were other times when I think the "adults" all got together at his place, somewhere on the southeast side, to play cards (pinochle?) and drink beer. We were relegated to other rooms so not much memory of the festivities. My father always said that Jerry took his knife - I never cleared that one up; I guess it was some sort of a joke. He is a great guy, he'll be missed! So sorry to all of the family for his passing.
