Jerry,

I had only known you for several months before you were killed. But we quickly grew to be friends and I looked forward to you pulling off-duty security during my swing-shift at the Juvenile Court.

One morning while I was driving to my second job two motorcycle cops pulled me over and I just couldn't imagine of what law I had run afoul. When the first cop's helmet came off there was your big smile.

I'm happy to have come across this site because I was able to see your picture and once again to remember a good friend.
