I have fond memories of my dad and Jerry working out in the back yard on the garage. The two of them tinkering away. Anything that needed fixing we could count on them to do. Our families were always together growing up; whether it was a simple family dinner or celebrating a special occasion. Many wonderful memories were made.
Sending your family prayers for comfort, strength and peace at this difficult time. My heartfelt condolences to all of you.
