Our sincere sympathy from Sandy and I to the Canterbury family. Jerry and I worked together for many years at the Sheriff's Office. He was one of the most thoughtful people I've ever met. I learned many of life's lessons from Jerry and he was truly a inspiration to my career in law enforcement. Many fond memories, may God help the family through this trying time. God Bless
