Nancy, David and Lisa,
My heartfelt condolences go out to you. I have a lot of fond memories of Jerry, and I know he will be missed by many. Sometimes I think about those giant catfish he would catch out of the Muskingum, and the time he took me and Dave fishing to Alum Creek Reservoir. I think about staying over at your house on snow days and hanging out with Jerry. Heck, he even took me out to a golf course for my first time. I'll always remember his face when I pulled his cart across the first green. Ha!
One of the kindest and most even-keeled guys I've ever had to pleasure to know.

To The Family of Jerry Williamson,

Please accept my condolences and those on behalf of the Liberty Union Golf Team. Jerry was one of our biggest supporters, always encouraging and inquiring about how we were doing.

Anyone who ever played golf with Jerry will always remember his skill, integrity, competitive nature and sense of humor. The Estate Club will never be the same.

Dear Family & Friends,
Mom, Lisa, myself and our families would just like to extend a sincere and heartfelt thank you to everyone for their kind words about a truly good husband and a better father. I honestly cannot remember anyone ever having a negative thing to say about dad, although he only gave our friends the speeding tickets, not us!:) In case I/we have a hard time saying it tomorrow, thank everyone again for all of your thoughts and prayers!
