We are so deeply sorry to hear about Jerry. We loved going to Jerry and Delores's home and cleaning for them. We laughed and talked with Jerry and he showed us his latest woodworking projects and computer games. Our love and prayers go out to Jerry and his wife, Delores.

I met Jerry and Dolores when my folks moved in next door. Jerry watered the plants and brought up the mail when my folks were out of town or needing a helping hand. Jerry was the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back. I sure depended on him when my folks got sick and remained friends with the Tri's after my parents passed away.Jerry and Dolores kept the faith and an optimistic attitude despite their sorrow and loss suffered with the tragic death of 3 of their children in recent years. Jerry and Dolores are both very dear to my Heart and Jerry will be sorrowfully missed. We send our Love and Condolences to the Tri Family. Love Leigh Ann

Dolores & family, I see by your lovely video & photo album that you & Jerry got to celebrate your 60th wedding anniversary recently. So good that you two had each other to lean on during the "worse" parts of your marriage and then could enjoy the "better" parts as well. He surely was able to spend a lot of joy around during his lifetime & you all have those wonderful memories to carry with you. It's hard to think of him without smiling but today we can't help shedding some tears as well. We thank you both for the memories & will keep you in our hearts & prayers during these lonely days ahead. It's comforting to know that Jerry will be with Mike, Dennis & Diana again.

Dolores, being so far away I have not shared in all of your sorrows, but I remember you and Jerry like it was yesterday at Aunt Helen's funeral. What I remember most is Jerry's sense of humor and his infectious laugh. I am with you in thoughts and prayers. And I send my love. I can even remember when I used to babysit at your house. Oh, to have those years back!

Jerry retired shortly before I started at "The Plant." I always heard what a Great Guy he was. Cherish the Memories!
