  1. Knew Jerry (and his family) while he still lived in Forest Lake, Michigan during the 1940’s & 1950’s. As i joined the Navy in 1950 i did not have much contact with him after that. My prayer’s are with his family & frineds. God Bless,,Bernie

  2. I work at Pass Key on Highway 50 and always loved when Jerry came in. I always knew when the Rockies were losing because he would come in to get a Pass Key. He always had a smile on his face and he loved to talk about his kids and grandkids. I will always have a special place for him in my heart and will think of him on our birthday, since we share the same one. He was a very nice man and I will miss seeing him come into the restaurant.
