Jerry,
Missing you more than you would ever know or guess. A bunch of memories keep coming to me. One is when we sat out in the rain,at the Bell Road home.Near the fountain, you in your wheelchair and me sitting on the bench.We sat there until the rain hurt your head,you had just got a haircut.We moved under a ramada and we sat on a swing and you struck up a conversation with two nirses about them making you tamales, which they did.You then had tamales every other day. Man you crack me up. So many funny memmories.
I go see you still. You just got your plaque. It has your middle initial. Sorry about that,don't blame me,not my fault.
I miss you.I find myself wanting to visit with you like old times and even calling you. I love you man

I always considered you as my brother and your family became part of my life. At any event, people would always ask where’s Jerry, Chester or Larry, we were inseparable, everyone thought that we were brothers growing up. Here’s a flash back, remember when we had a rock band called the “Upkeeps?” I’m attaching a picture of our group and our reunion during my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary party. I will miss the laughter and pranks we played on people, I love you Bro.

Jerry,
I miss you very much. There were good times and bad times and thru it all you stayed on top of many things and was always there to give advice and lend a helping hand. You left us way to early. Your the Brother I never had. I am glad I got to know you as a person, it was an Honor to have you as a friend. When my time comes, we will share more stories and laughs as we did in the past.
P.S. I will bring the fart machine too!

Larry, I didn't know your brother, but your words show what a wonderful person he was. Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
May his memory always live in your heart!
My prayers are with you and your family during this most difficult time!

Jerry, we love you and we will miss you immensely. You were the brother I could talk to for hours. You had a wonderful sense of humor and always had a smile on your face. You were so loving and caring & you always watched out for me. You were kind and caring toward others as well and you took others in when they had no place to go. You also were an awesome baseball player – I won’t ever forget how many times you hit the ball way out there for a homerun or the times you strategically placed the ball depending on where the runners were . . . like I said you were awesome!! You and I were able to speak about Jesus recently and I know you will now be out of pain and you will be in Heaven. Rest in peace my dear, sweet brother. ? ?
