It was such a tremendous blessing to have been able to grow up around this man. He truly was one of the sweetest and most gentle souls I have ever known. Being able to spend more time with him these last few months, was such a blessing. I pray for everyone’s strength to push forward in these trying times and to take comfort knowing he is watching over us all.
RIP Popi, love you.

One of the best man I’ve ever known in my life! Growing up with Tracey and being a part of his home was so very special. Jerry always included me in their family and made me feel like I was a part of it. Jerry walked me down the aisle at my wedding to my mom and those memories are always treasured! Seeing the love him and his wife shared was something people don’t see very often and I am so thankful that I got a glimpse of it.
