Many homes have been beautifully decorated with furniture and cabinetry built by this master craftsmans hands. Jerry loved beautiful gardens and was a deeply spiritual family man. This gentle, kind, compassionate man will be sorely missed by those of us who were so very fortunate to have had the pleasure of knowing him. We are all so glad to know that he no longer suffers and that he is free as a bird flying somewhere over the rainbow.
