Tracy & Janis, I know how much he will be missed, we first met in 1978 at the Rosemead Post Office and shared a chuckle or 2 every day. He came here 4 years ago and 1st thing said OK where is the coffee, cold, hot or 3 day old, just bring me my coffee!! I came up to see him a year ago with our frinds Pete and Stella Vargas, who also send their regards. We had BBQ at a local joint and gabbed. I am so glad that he finally got Bill Wilson and what he was saying, I sent him an atta boy on the anniversary every year. For 34 years and he was happy for me.

Jerry was a great person and good neighbor. We were neighbors for over 20 years and everyone should have a neighbor like him. I will sincerely miss him.
My greatest and deepest condolences to Jan and the entire family.

What a wonderful man we were blessed with at the bus yard. He made us laugh and was a friend to all. He always spoke of his beautiful wife and family. I am sure he is telling everyone in Heaven about his family!! I pray for comfort for you all in the days ahead. Rest in peace our dear friend Jerry.

Jerry was a wonderful co-worker who became a dear friend to all. I always looked forward to seeing him, he could help make a day that wasn't so good a lot brighter. He stayed in touch even after I no longer worked with him and enjoyed hearing about Janis and his wonderful family! He came to my son's memorial service and that meant so much to me! May God give you comfort and Strength. Will Miss you Jerry! Sharon and Biggen Raney

I met Jerry when I worked as a bus driver for Victorville Union High School District. I enjoyed our visits and Jerry's sense of humor and his stories. He was such a nice guy. I'm happy to have known him and be called his friend.

To Jerry's family and friends,
Today and all days may be hard, but remember that if we had never known Jerry, our lives would have been hugely diminished. If Jerry had never entered our lives, we wouldn't be the same people that we are today. Let us all hold onto the gift of Jerry being part of our lives, now and always. I know I will miss my friend, but I hold comfort that when I see him again, he will greet me with that big laugh and smile.
May God help his family by helping to heal their broken hearts.

God bless you and keep your loved ones protected by the hand of God until they see you again. Good fathers leave a legacy behind in their children and grandchildren. I have known your daughter for 9 years and she is a kindhearted person who gives her heart to so many. Thank you for raising such a great girl. All of her friends will keep an eye on her for you. Rest in peace now, Sir.
