Jerry was one of a dozen or so cousins who would gather at "The Lake" in Northern Minnesota. Our extended families drove from several states to spend two weeks together every August.
Our swimming, fishing, waterskiing days, before marshmallow roasting, ghost story telling evenings are some of the best memories of my youth.
We had one box of comic books and Mad Magazines under a bed for rainy days. It didn't matter that we read the same ones summer after summer.
I thank all of our parents - cousins themselves - for keeping the family close.
Rest in Peace, Jerry, and thanks for being a great cousin.
