He later moved back to Boston and spent the second half of his career running Brickman’s, a decorative hardware store on Moody Street in Waltham. It was back in Boston where Jerry started his family. Jerry was a deeply caring man who devoted his life to family. His biggest pride was his children and grandchildren.
