City. Gerard was educated in the public schools of New York City and Georgetown, South Carolina.
Loving the south, he attended Johnson C Smith University in Charlotte, North Carolina and later
served in the Air Force.

Jerry was an advocate of service minded initiatives. He volunteered on voter registration, meals for
the needy and served with the feed the hungry program.

Jerry enjoyed playing baseball and viewing all types of sports on television he was a big fan of New
York sports and could cite scores wins and names, but not losses.
Jerry's greatest love was family. He enjoyed being with family members. Every summer was spent in Edisto Island with family members making memories and creating bonds that continued throughout
his life.

so admired. After Dee's passing, Jerry continued to live together and share his household with Edwin, Edwin Jr, Kizzy, and Quayvon in New York and at times traveling to the South.

Jerry had a strong spiritual belief that began at a young age in Randall Memorial Presbyterian Church
and continued until his passing. Early in his communication with Butch and Sandra, Jerry asked Sandra
did she know the "Lord is My Shepherd". Sandra asked Jerry are you referring to the 23rd Psalm and
she started to recite it, too which Jerry joined and they continued in unison. Every day afterward they
recited Psalm 23 with Jerry leading the Psalms and stating "Sandy, See I remember this from my
Sunday school days at Randall Memorial. During these conversation Jerry often described the picture
Aunt Dorothy sent to where he stands as young, proud and strong member of the Sunday school
class.
