  6. My memories of Jerry and Jeannette will always be among my fondest. Performing in the Rhythm Cloggers with Jerry announcing while Jeannette, Becky, Theresa danced with our group and the rest of the family cheered us all on was a real highlight of life. Jerry and Jeanette will be missed big time.

    Fondly –
    Christine

  8. I met Jerry while working part-time at the Britton Rd Wegmans in the early 90’s. We’d stand around and talk trains so long that front end management would come looking for me! Lol! Jerry was a heck of a good guy, I sure will miss him.
