I first met Jerry in 1975 when I started working for HyVee at east 25th and Euclid.He always had a huge captivating smile when we ran into each other.I remember him telling me that his brother Dave was truley a good person,but he just couldn't control his cleptomania. He would say ,make sure that you watch him or he'll steal you blind.For the longest time I believed him!YOU NEVER KNOW IT MIGHT STIL L BE THE TRUTH. I'm really going to miss Jerrys smiling face-He was truely a great person.Look up Dax for me and maybe you two can hang out!Love you Jerry-- Vaughn Bell
