I was out of town and my wife saw this in the newspaper, so I'm a little late. I worked with Jerry in Andrade and I can remember nothing but great times. You had many friends and as I can see from the entries a loving family, the mark of a great life!

Dear Shawn and Family,

Please accept our sincere condolences. We are sorry to hear about Jerry's passing. I knew Jerry when I was a Border Patrol Agent in Yuma and he was assigned to the Port of Entry at Andrade, CA. He was always a true professional and a nice man to always talk with. May you find comfort in all the fond memories that you all have of him.

God Bless,

I had a great step-dad growing up. He used to take me to Senator Wash on the weekends, boat us out to the island, put the worms on my plastic fishing pole, and we'd catch little sunfish...just the two of us. It's one of the best memories I have in my mind. He helped shape and mold me into the person I am today and he never made me feel like I was less than his own daughter. I will always love and treasure the memories that he gave me. RIP Jerry Lamont.

We will miss you so much Dad. I hope you and Grandpa Sam are catching lots of fish together! Of course Grandma will be complaining in the background that she will not clean them. I love you Pop, now and always,
