We have many wonderful musical memories of Jerry centered around our times together in the Ridgewood and Waldwick bands and playing clarinet ensembles with Paul. It was fun visiting "Josh" the innkeeper in Ocean Grove and playing for the flea market on the green. Jerry did not like to travel much but he did seem to have a good time with us on the band tour of Central Europe. I got to shop with him as he chose a garnet for Mary. He was so frustrated when his fingers no longer worked and he had to give up playing the clarinet... And there is Jerry the clock repairer. We had a mantel clock that he cleaned and balanced and had it running beautifully but we could never get it to run at our house with our uneven floors. So, the clock lived and ran happily at Jerry's home.
