Jerry was a great person to work with at Cardinal Health. Said he learned everything from me when he got something wrong. Loved the casino stories with him and Brenda. Blamed the Sizzlin’ Sevens on me too. What a great man. If he called you “Friend,” he meant it. His gruff exterior belied a heart of gold. RIP, Jerry.

I was hoping to spend time with my cousin one more time for old times sake but time got away but thankful for the memories I have. Praying for his family and friends in this time of sorrow. Remember the fun and happy times you had with him and cherish each and every moment!
