Dear Maria, Michelle, Alissa and Vinny,
So sorry for your loss, especially at this season. I can empathize, as my mom passed on Christmas eve. All of you have my sympathy and will be in my prayers at this sad time.

Jerry was an extraordinary person. A kind and caring father, husband and cousin-in-law. For someone who was constantly in pain, he never complained and I don't ever recall him saying "why me". He took life in stride and played the hand he was dealt,  and with the constant help of Delores and the rest of his family, he persevered. He was a fine man and will be remembered and loved.

So very many good times with you and your family.  So very sorry for your loss May Jerry RIP.  He put up a good fight bur he is with God now.  Remember the good times.  


Dad,

I have never known a better man!. Your loyalty and love for your family was second to none. You told it like it was, always honest. You were a "dad" right to the end, asking for your money so you could by us all dinner.  I will never forget all the fun we always had.
The thing I will remember the most is the way your face lit up whenever your grandchildren were around.  I now know exactly how you felt. I will always take with me your quite strength, you were always my role model. I enjoyed our private conversation and will hold them in my heart forever. Rest easy Jer,  NO ONE  deserves it more..... "The record shows you took the blows, and did it your way"... Rest in peace Dad, until we meet again...I love you
Maria xoxo

First and foremost thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. I’ll always remember our couple drinks in the afternoons at the Big Timers Club, he was always genuine and spoke from his heart. He always treated me like a son, and when Frank Sinatra came on the radio or the jukebox it always put a smile on his face. Once again my thoughts and prayers are with Michelle, Maria, and Dee. 

My papa will be remembered for his fiery personality quick wit and as I liked to always tell him - his sassiness. A true Pilar of strength. He taught me how to be strong when most would crumble to push on and fight. He taught me the importance of always having a pen on hand, always keep your gas tank above at least half, it’s totally okay to binge watch Law & Order for hours, and that Frank Sinatra should’ve been in my history books growing up. But most importantly my papa taught me what it is to have a true bond with a grandchild. I will carry him with me always and I know he’s never too far away.! Post time papa! I love you and miss you. 

I’ll always remember my papa as a man who wherever he went was dressed up with pressed dress pants, cuff links, and a fedora. His style was classic and timeless just like him. His love for Frank Sinatra, the color orange and his hard candies is famous to those who knew him best.  He told it like it was with no apologies and I always loved and respected that about him. Underneath all of that was a man who loved his family dearly, even though majority of the time we were too loud for him and often interrupted his TV shows. I’ll miss you and love you always. 

I've known Jerry since I was 3 years old and he's always treated me like one of his granddaughter's. I loved visiting him and Dee's house with Alissa, we'd play in the backyard for hours! As we grew up, I learned to appreciate his Frank Sinatra room. Jerry was always the most stylish guy around with the best dry sense of humor. He will be missed by so many!
