Kind of late. I just found out. We grew up together in northside of cincinnati. We all went to vietnam. We lived together for awhile in Clift on after the marine corps. Saw him the last time at a few funerals back in 98. He was a good man and a marine. He will be missed.
Just found out about Jerry’s passing. Very sad, I go back to the 50’s at Kirby Road Elementary School with Jerry. I last was with him in 98 at some of our friends funerals. I also know many of his old friends and will pass this on. R.I.P. Jerry you will be missed by many of your Cincinnati (Northside) friends.

Jerry was a good friend of mine when we were growing up. Jerry, his brother Jack, Jack Bucher and I were inseparable in our early teens. I have so many fond memories from back then. I remember being at his house when the University of Cincinnati won the NCAA basketball championship and we were just wild. Spent so many hours sleeping out and playing sports. Sorry I couldn’t have seen him and reminisced about those days. May he rest in peace.
Hey papa it’s me Macie I miss u so much!!
