Obituary

Jerry Margolis, 85, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family. Beloved husband of Jackee (nee’ Spitzer) for 61 wonderful years; loving father of Lori (Scott) Margolin, Paul (Jeanine), Jay (Pam) and Stacy (Arlen) Shub; adoring Papa of Ryan and Bradley (Hallie) Margolin and Courtney and Maya Shub; doting Great Papa of Layla, dear uncle and friend of all who knew him. Jerry built a beautiful family with the love of his life, Jackee. Jerry proudly watched his children grow up, get married and grow the family with the addition of the grandchildren. Jerry was present for all his grand children’s B’nai Mitzvah, he walked his one grandchild down the aisle and most recently he held his adored great grandchild, Layla. He was known for his love of his family, big laugh, teddy bear hugs and sense of humor. His presence will surely be missed.

We are so sorry for your loss. We will definitely miss seeing his face, along with yours, around the salon. You could also count on a good conversation when Jerry came back the salon to drop off products.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I am so sorry for your loss Jay. You truly have a sweet spirit and a kind heart. You are one of the few in this world that a person can consider you a true friend. I truly believe that us men tend to be a reflection of our fathers. Since the saying is true about us being a reflection of our fathers, then your dad must have been an amazing man based on what I see in you! My heart goes out to you and your family.

God bless you my friend
