Jerry, I am so, so heartbroken to hear of your passing. I remember all the long mornings in the sound booth working with you and your goofy sense of humor.

Jerry, aka Jedi, was a faithful Christian who loved his church and served with joy. I was blessed to call Jerry a friend. He remained positive and determined through his battle and found victory when he was called home to heaven. I'm just not sure what he will do with no more political battles to fight.
