Jerry will be missed as a great dance partner for the last ten years. He made my life fun. He said he lived to dance and he made it happen wherever he went. When making an entrance, he was always recognizable by his well-known cowboy hat. He loved to make people laugh. Hope you are dancing in Heaven.
