My brother faught an extremely rare and aggressive virus far beyond what doctors thought was medically possible. In the end, his body simply could not keep up with his relentless spirit. He passed away yesterday, peacefully, surrounded by family and friends. Jerry was a protector and leader, a champion of people and causes, who believed in fair play. His energy and optimism were boundless; his laughter could light the darkness. Jerry faced life's hardships with strength, dignity, and optimism, without complaint, placing the needs of others before his own. He was my he...ro, but these last few weeks have demonstrated that many hundreds of others saw him in the same way. Thank you for supporting Jerry all these months. I will post, once again, his final facebook message in which he thanks his facebook family and refers to himself as a lucky man. See More

Much love to you and your family at this time.
ReplyDeleteI will always remember Jerry's smile and how he took the time to play with my nephew Mikey
when we all lived in Totowa.
I work for the American Cancer Society now in West Palm Beach FL and have been keeping up to date on Jerry through your posts and my sister Karen and mom. So very sorry for your loss of Jerry and the loss your dad this past year.
