Uncle Jerry

Uncle Jerry God bless Uncle Jerry. As a child, Jerry was always there for me. I was a fatherless three year old whose mother was on welfare, and Jerry was the father I never had. I considered Jerry superman. His vibrant smile and his well built frame epitomized his larger than life profile, yet his good hearted character and care free attitude towards me were the things I looked forward to during those troubled years. …

…of the nicest things I could ever imagine another person to do for another. At the age of ten, my mother finally managed to find a decent job and later, a husband. Jerry, feeling his work was done with us, left to begin his new life. He joined the peace corps and is still in it doing today what he did with me so many years back: caring for people desperately in need of care.
