2. Did Jerome Sr. pass on? I served with him at VR-48 NAF Andrews circa late 70’s early 80’s. Good guy, liked the man, sorry for your oss. Rest easy Jerome.

   • Yes, he passed in 2009. I was Just with Jerome Jr. a couple of days ago.

     • I’m truly sorry to hear this. I hadn’t seen him since the early 80’s I’m guessing. Did he retire from the Navy or move back to Baltimore when his hitch was up?

     • Hi Steve, I apologize for not responding to you earlier. I lost track of things and I thought I had. Jerome did retire from the Navy and moved back to Baltimore, then. Thank you for inquiring about my cousin.

     • No problem, been a long time but Jerome always had a big smile and a huge laugh.
