God puts people on earth to serve many purposes. Jerry was sent to spread love, kindness and humility. He cherished his family and friends and was the #1 fan of his grandkids’ many activities. He had an amazing work ethic, admired by many. He worked as a machinist for many years and with his entrepreneur spirit he owned a Boy Blue ice cream store and a printing company. Jerry was always ready to jump in to volunteer and could be seen driving for Meals on Wheels or working a Bingo game at his parish. You could always count on a heartwarming smile, a hearty handshake and a good one liner from Jerry.

“Our sincere appreciation for the staff at Brookdale Brookfield and the Arboretum, for all their care and compassion.”

Jerry will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
