Jerry worked as a dishwasher at the YWCA. He enjoyed cheering on local sports teams, and watching wrestling and game shows. He loved his Diet Pepsi, brats and cheeseburgers. He was especially fond of his dog Jake.
Jerry was a handicapped individual, but taught us many things: such as patience, tolerance and bravery. He showed incredible strength and determination with everything life threw his way. He charmed those who cared for him. It was amazing to witness how much they valued him. He will be dearly missed and deserves his new life in heaven.
