soon after i left the restaurant industry to start my own business
we lost touch
but often thought about him
when i made a positive choice about life instead of reaction to it
several years later
i heard that jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business
he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers
while trying to open the safe his hand shaking from nervousness
slipped off the combination
the robbers panicked and shot him luckily jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma centre
