Jerome was preceded in death by his parents; one sister Mary Lou Kildea; 2 nieces; and one nephew. Jerry faced many challenges not easily understood by society, from early childhood into retirement. His gift to our family was a lesson in acceptance and love. Jerry will be missed by his entire family, but particularly by his sister Pat who watched over him and guided him for more than 25 years. The gentle hands and caring hearts of the staff at Sharon S Richardson Community Hospice helped Jerry leave this life with dignity and compassion that eluded him during his earthly journey.
