Jerry and I were shocked when we heard this news and have been praying for the family. He was a great guy, willing to help wherever he could and an asset to Chapter 8. God bless all of you.

Met him here in San Pedro Corozal Belize, when he used to come as part of a mission group. He was a nice, friendly person, with a big heart. He became friends with my dad.. Condolences to Amanda and family
