Jerry hired me in 1977 and was my boss until he retired. Just a few months ago, he attended my retirement. We were good friends for over 30 years. If you were looking for an honest person with a positive attitude you could always look to Jerry. To me, who shared his Missouri roots, he was truly a "good old boy" who did things the way old fashioned way. Jerry treated people with kindness and respect, attributes much needed in today's society.
My sympathy goes out to Jerry's family and his many friends, he will be missed.

Jerry was a fine person. I have only good, positive memories of his help and assistance at the Ford dealership when I took my car in. He always made me feel special and did it with a smile. Though I didn't realize that Ty was his daughter, she was a friend the instant I met her. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
