My sincere sympathies to the family. Jerry was a great guy that I met when he hung out at Martha's Kitchen where I cooked many years ago. I was unable to express my sympathy at the funeral home, but wanted to let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to her of 'JB's" passing.Many memories of the Thursday keger softball games with Jerry and son Tom at Groveton Field.My fondest memory,out of many, was his Ben Frankilin (like K-Mart at the time) glove that he used.I was 17 at the time and said to him that he was starting to look like Ben Franklin and as easy going of a man he was he laughed.... and then sicced Tommy on me!He was even going to give the glove to me.Honestly,the times that I spent with him, I considered him as an "Uncle" along with Sparky and Sinky.A great man that with always be in my memories.A man of true spirit ,wisdom and love for life in the time that I have known him.God Bless.
