My deepest sympathies to your entire family on the loss of your brother and uncle. Jerry was a dear friend with whom I unfortunately lost contact in the past year, largely because of the issues my own family was dealing with. He was a good, kind, loving man who was always quick with a kind and supportive word, ready to defend and protect those about whom he cared. He was there for me through so much… I don’t know what caused his passing, but I do know he’d had a terrible battle all the years I’ve known him, with health and other issues, and I only hope that he has found peace – and that the passing of time and knowing that he is now out of the terrible, endless pain he suffered will help ease the loss you must all feel.
My deepest sympathy to Mary Ann & Lew on the loss of your brother.
My thoughts go out to Jerry’s family.I knew Jerry by writing to him back and forth.I hope you find comfort,in knowing Jerry is at peace.
