Jerry I often wondered what happened to you . We we best pals in the West end of Winnipeg. I was on Banning . Your street escapes me but went to school together and community club . I remember visiting you in hospital you were around 15 and I got hell when I got home because I was supposed to sit after my sister I won’t forget that beating. We were close cuz our childhood was so similar. RIP Jerry fond memories. M - Posted by: Jemima nee Watson (Friend ) on: Jan 04, 2022
