Jerome’s enduring faith

His passion to support,

build and grow the faith

in his church community

and in particular, Catholic

Schools was immeasur-

able.

He enjoyed many things

in life, especially a game

of golf or cards, following

the stock market and

spending time with

grandkids and

great-grandkids. His pres-

ence will be greatly

missed. He will live on in

our hearts forever.
