We both knew and loved Jerry as a C.O.P.S. volunteer. For a while, our desks were basically next to each other. His expert knowledge and assistance will never be forgotten. I shall always remember his great hugs and big smiles. He was a tremendous asset everywhere he went and his memory shall always remain with us.
