Dear Friends and Family,
I am saddened to share with you that my father passed away last night. He went very peacefully in his home surrounded by his loving family after battling ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) valiantly with strength and courage. Jerry Kaufman celebrated and lived his life with a strong sense of purpose and modeled to us where our priorities should be. He was a loving husband and father, with an amazing sense of humor and generous nature. A consummate teacher and life long learner, he was always eager to pass along his life lessons and share his wisdom. He was deliberate in his actions and created a positive legacy through all the lives he touched.
There will be a memorial ceremony to celebrate my father's life followed by an intimate burial ceremony on Sunday afternoon.
Thank you for all your love and support.
Warmest regards, Jake
