Jerry Catalina

Recently I received word that my good friend Jerry Catalina passed away. For many years he was my best friend at Sportsmens Dog Training Club in the Detroit Metro area. We taught many classes together and had great fun doing that. I think our students enjoyed having us for co-instructors. We were very good at finishing each other's sentences. Jerry had two Golden Retrievers and earned many obedience titles with them. Although we were different in some respects, we complemented one another.

Jerry and I were "old men" together being only a few years apart in age. I was surprised by this photo of him as a young man attached to his obituary. He was a nice man and was very kind to me. I will miss him a lot.
