We’re planning a celebration of life for Jerry at the end of the summer in Evanston, IL: a place he loved and called home for 45 years while raising his family and living life to the fullest. We’re gathering to share stories, laughter, and toasts, with a little baseball, some dancing, and plenty of time to connect with all the incredible people who were part of Jerry’s life. If you knew him, spent time with him, or even just crossed paths and came away smiling, we would truly love for you to join us and celebrate him together.
