Jerry - Thank You for being a great coach and a great leader. You were so instrumental in all the kids lives that you touch and reached out to while we were growing up. Watch out for the gatorade bucket when entering the pearlie gates but I am sure that they left the block of ice out this time. You will be greatly missed - Rest in Peace Coach Jerry!
