Remembering our water volleyball games at Gottlieb Center for Fitness with Gerry and Kay. Now playing together up in heaven. Let's hold onto the happy memories until we all meet again someday at the water volleyball pool up in the sky.

WE WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT WE ARE THINKING ABOUT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, IT IS HARD FOR US TO BELIEVE THAT HE IS GONE, BUT WE KNOW THAT WE WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT A GREAT HUSBAND FATHER AND GRANDFATHER HE WAS,

Our hearts go out to Jerry's family and friends. We at Gottlieb's Health & Fitness Center's volleyball group were so looking forward to his return to play ing again after we learned that his latest surgery was a complete success. We were all shocked to hear of his passing.
But, ar least now he's free of his earthbound body and is playing volleyball up in heaven, totally hale and healthy again for eternity. He can kibbitz from up there.
But he'll live on down here forever in our hearts and minds...and in his children and grandchildren.
He was just wonderful, and he will be sorely missed.
With our sympathy,
Arlene & Bob Lenz
