As part of the Lennon, Jerry will be sorely missed. A gentle giant of a man in so many ways. There are many memorable moments of at Mere Point. Jerry found joy in sitting on his porch watching over Mere Point Bay. Fishing with Jerry was the memorable moments of fun and laughter. He loved dogs and they loved him. So are dear friend, we know you have been welcomed in the House of the Lord. A life well lived.

So very sad to hear this news, Nancy. Sending love to you and to Barbara and Worth. Jerry was stellar, one of a kind -- thoughtful, generous, smart, and an amazing storyteller. It was an honor to work for him. Wish we could support you in person but are with you in spirit from Maryland,
