I have cared for Jerry in this last 2yrs of his life and come to know him quite well. Dementia unfortunately consumed him and he convinced himself I was his daughter. I filled this void for him the past 2yrs and it was a blessing. Such a sweet man and full of personality and character. He will never be forgotten in my facility and will forever hold a special place in my heart. To his family…you are all he ever thought about and he wanted nothing more than to get back to you all.
