A FRIEND IN NEED...FUNDRAISER SATURDAY FOR JERRY LOPEZ

(Ed.'s Note: Known to his friends as Jerry, Geronimo Lopez Jr. has been known for years by local residents and politicians who gathered at his father Geronimo's popular Texas Lounge since the days that it was frequented by the likes of Adolfo "Bedo" Betancourt, JP Tony Torres, D.J. Lerma and other elected officials and law enforcement types when it was located on the second story of Joe Zayas' land development office on the corner of Coolidge and 14th streets.

Later, when Lopez Sr. moved it to Paredes Line Road and, even later, to Central Blvd., Jerry helped his dad run the business. His latest venture into the business was operating George Gavito's Barrel Lounge next to the Oyster Bar which burned down a few years ago.

We now learn that he has come down with a colon ailment and is in dire need of emergency surgery. His friends have reached out to us and asked that we let our seven readers know that they will hold a BBQ chicken plate fundraiser this Saturday at the Escondido Bar at 1228 E. 14th Street. Plates are $8 and are available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Here's wishing Jerry the best and encouraging his friends to stop by and assist him in his hour of need. We thank you in advance. Animo, Jerry!)
