In Loving Memory of

Little Jerry Citron

January 21st, 2023

Obituary

Jerome "Little Jerry" Citron, 74, beloved husband and best friend of Sharon nee Pitler for 53 wonderful years; loving father of Amy (Brad) Grossman and Adam Citron; cherished Papa Little Jerry of David and Ellie Grossman and Sophia Citron; devoted son of the late Fannie and Benjamin Citron; treasured friend of many. Little Jerry was a proud lawyer for 50 years and dedicated his life to mentoring others. He held the title of being the longest rider on the Metra for 50 years. Little Jerry took the law serious but not himself. When he wasn't in the office or courtroom, you could find Little Jerry on the golf course, always with a cigar in his mouth. His greatest joy in life was his family.
