Sorry to learn of Jerry's passing. So many memories from childhood, beginning with riding bikes from Philadelphia trailer park to the O'Neill home to hang out with the O'Neill brothers. I remember watching satellite TV in Jerry's shop building with Jerry and the family. A bit later Jerry gave me a job painting. I remember with fondness traveling around Northeast Arkansas with the O'Neill's painting houses for a few months. My condolences to Kenny, Patrick, John, Philip, and Janice. May the King rest in Peace!
