MEET MR. JERRY!

Jerry has had a lifelong commitment to serving West Orange children, families and seniors through his career in the schools and serving numerous community organizations. Beloved in our West Orange Schools, Police Athletic League, St. Joseph Church and for his leadership as Chancellor the Knights of Columbus, he continues to grow and share his talent in his retirement as he recently embarked upon a new career finding passion in the world of art. As an award winning artist he has been honored by County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo in the Annual Essex County Senior Citizens Juried Art Show. Jerry wants to continue to serve with empathy and commitment to make a difference in the lives of residents in our community by serving on West Orange Town Council.
