There are no words to describe the loss in this world of my sweet Daddy, Jerry. Too many unanswered questions and broken protocols every step of the way. I will discover the truth to respect and honor you. I can feel you in my heart and this gives me strength. I will take care of Mom and try to make her happy to keep your memory alive as you would have wanted.
Pop, We love and miss you so much. I always admired you and your ways. You taught me so much about music and life, and you were always there when I needed you. Throughout life's ups and downs, countless band concerts, and sporting events I always knew you were there rooting for me. I loved joking around with you and sharing music. Sometimes I would find a new song and I would think to myself, "I have to show Pop!". I would send the song straight to Nana on Facebook, because I knew she would show you in an instant. After the message sent, I would eagerly await the response - "Pop sez, this is cool!". A lot of the Michael Brecker and John Coltrane stuff rubbed off on me. You really helped me broaden my musical taste at an early age. There was always a musical bond between us and there always will be. I can't begin to summarise my 26 years of life with you by my side. There are so many years and moments I am greatly thankful for. Thanks to you, Pop. We love you.
