My deepest sympathy to you, Peggy, and all of your family on the loss of your father. He was always so pleasant and friendly when I'd see him and get to chat with him at King's. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I am deeply sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. I have been a member of Our Lady of Joy's choir for the past 25 years and I can't imagine that we'll be singing without him. What a wonderful man - I will truly miss him for many reasons. Heaven has gained a great tenor - I am grateful for the time we had with him. Well done, Jerry. May God bless you abundantly for singing His praises on earth for so many years. Kathy Float

So sorry for your loss. The first memory that came to me was Mr. Leyer giving me my Cub Scout introduction and to see if I memorized my oath.So many years singing in the choir.
