Dear Rachel, Jed, and Liza, Many fond memories of Jerry on trips to Blueberry Island as kids to building the bunkie at the cottage later in life. He never gave up on trying to help our family and never gave up exacting perfection in the execution of the cottage. He had high standards and always talked lovingly about all of you. He will be missed.

Jed and Liza, It is never easy when a parent dies. Not when it happens quickly, not when it happens slowly, no matter how it happens, it is never easy. May you soon move from your father's memory only reminding you of your loss, to memories of your father being a blessing and reminding you of happier times.
