Sorry to hear about Jerome's passing. He was a very friendly person and a very good person to work with. If you needed advice you could talk to him. Jerome was always bringing in cakes and other treats for his co-workers. - Posted by: David Friesen (Wal-Mart co-worker) on: Sep 19, 2013

We had known Jerome over the years as our "egg man'. He would always think of us if he was coming into the city to see if we needed eggs. He always had a story to share about something or another followed by his laughter. He was such a nice guy, so upbeat and full of life. We are very sorry to hear of his passing and our deepest condolences go out to his family. - Posted by: David and Michelle Eastman (friends) on: Sep 04, 2013
