Lisa Fieldhouse wrote a sympathy message

“As I cleaned for Jerry for a few years it was a joy the times he'd chat. I enjoyed listening to him. His face would light up & he'd have just the most energy each time he'd speak of any family member. His energy & happiness would make me smile & feel joy. I always thought he's so cool and I love the way he loves his family. I remember him being so excited and really enjoying the picture you all took when it was cold on those steps. God bless all of you. He will be missed. Wonderful man.”
