RIP Jerry Fishman – Bay Ridge
We were very sad to hear that Jerry Fishman had died.
Jerry was what they call a ‘Bay Ridginal’. He was a wonderful man, who would talk with us about everything in the neighborhood. He was so funny!
Jerry loved Bay Ridge and the people in this community!
Animal lovers know Jerry as the owner of Brooklyn Pet Supply on 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge. When Petland Discount went out of business, Jerry opened his own pet store.
If you don’t know Jerry, then you probably know his famous house – The Gingerbread House on Narrows Avenue. Jerry admired the house when he was a student at Ft. Hamilton High School. And when he went on his first date with his wife, the past it and he told Diane that one day he was going to buy that house!
Many people remembered Jerry as a man who stood up for what was right!
Prayers for Jerry’s wife and his family!
RIP Jerry – Bay Ridge is going to miss you!
Hugs,
marlene
