Jerry was a joy-filled man who prioritized God, his family, and friends. The sweet memory of Jerry dancing to his favorite song, “Treat ‘Em Right,” by Chub Rock, with his walker, alongside his cherished friend, Naomi Torno, will forever keep us laughing and crying at the same time. Jerry’s comedic spirit will always shine the brightest when he would say to our mother, “C’mon momma,” as he would charm her with is charismatic energy.
