Jerry and I would often run into each other during our working days as we were both in the food business.
Remember my parents going to Jerry and Lori's wedding. A typical Kennedy blast.
Too many Kennedys in heaven now , but I am sure still partying.
Thinking of you Lori

Lori, Linda and I extend our deepest condolences to you and your family. During our short friendship through Applewood, it was Jerry’s smile and sense of humor that brightened many a day. Keith and I joked about trying to keep up with Jerry on the highways, and amazed that he never got a speeding ticket! He will be sadly missed by all. RIP my friend.
