I cant remember ever not knowing you. You were my unofficial big brother since I was 3. A bright sweet light has dimmed. You will be remembered forever in the hearts of those who knew you. You were loved more than you could have ever imagined.

Sorry to hear this and my condolences especially to Vicky. Jerry was a good employee, a great artist, and most of all a nice caring person. His sense of humor and funny slant on things made me smile...goodbye Jerry.

Life will forever be a little darker and a little sadder with the loss of your sweet, loyal and loving presence. You were my unofficial big brother since I was 3 and the kids and I will remember you always with a smile and a fun story. You were loved more than you could have ever known.
Jerry and friends, 1993

"I depart as air, I shake my white locks at the runaway sun,
I effuse my flesh in eddies, and drift it in lacy jags.
I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love,
If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles.
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,
And filter and fibre your blood.
Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
Missing me one place search another,
I stop somewhere waiting for you."
