There are no words to describe the depth of my gratitude for the blessing of uncle Jerry in my life. He was an accomplished extraordinary man and yet he was humble, thoughtful, kind and so generous. The greatest expression of his generosity was in sharing the wisdom of his business and life experience so that anyone who was interested could learn and grow. He was the epitome of the Sage, the Wise One every generation needs. My aunt Carol and uncle Jerry's love for the Adirondacks and their loving support of me in some of the most challenging times in my life allowed me the opportunity to heal, grow and thrived in countless ways. I would not be the woman I am today without that unconditional love they extended to me. My life is so blessed by knowing, loving and spending special moments with them on Lake Simond. One of the things I most loved was his sense of humor.He always wanted me to try one of those dirty martini's he'd enjoy at 6pm and he'd laugh when I told him I was afraid to try it...so for you my dear uncle one of these days at 6pm I promise to try one...and I'll toast you in Heaven. I love you and miss you...and thank you for being a wonderful man, uncle and friend.
