Jerry married into our family and was immediately loved by all. He didn't have a very big family before. His wife of many years, Polly past away leaving Jerry and their only son, Keith alone. (Keith is grown, married and has kids). Joining our family must have been a bit overwhelming! We are a BIG family! Just let me tell you, we have grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and grandchildren of all ages. We celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and holidays as a family (since we are so big, it's difficult to get everyone in the same place at the same, but we try).
Jerry LOVED being part of this big, happy and somewhat complex family. He always said how lucky we are to have so many people to love and reminded us often not to take each other for granted. If I had to describe Jerry in one word, I just couldn't do it. So I've pondered on a few descriptors I thought may be applicable.
U-Unbiased
N-Naught and Nice
C-Cultured
L-Lovable
E-Enthusiastic
J-Joyful
E-Easy
R-Retired from RJ Reynolds
R-Reliable
Y-Young at heart
Of all these, I'd have to say he was patient.
Loved by many, remembered by all.
"Until We Meet Again" Uncle Jerry....
