Jerry loved dogs, the Phillies, and peanut butter pie. Even being a Philadelphia sports fanatic, he was a glass half-full type of guy, and he lived to see an Eagles Super Bowl victory. He had a winning smile, was never too full for dessert, and had a joke for every occasion. He was happiest around his family, with a dog on his lap, and telling stories about his adventurous travels around the world. He was a thoughtful and decent man, and his family will miss him dearly.
