Dear Jeff, I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. I remember when you & Gina were young and your Dad and Roger would go dove hunting together, and then we had to cook them to eat. He was a very happy and, good person. We loved him. God Bless You!

Jerry was always such a hard working clean and decent guy. He played the drums with Harry Richardson and me on numerous occasions. We were the "Quiet Three", probably named after Jerry since Harry and I were not always that quiet.

Linda,
I was so sorry to hear about Jerry. I have such fond memories of him being around the house many, many years ago on Miller Street where I grew up. He always took the time to talk to me and encourage me in a way that a silly girl with absolutely no confidence needed to hear. His caring made quite an impression on me. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

God Bless,
