As a Scoutmaster, Jerry must have been the finest ever. He taught me how to drive a stick shift hauling gear out to the campground in the Overhead Door truck. My brother and I once cleaned the old grounds out of the bottom of the Troop 26 coffee pot and got chastised to no end for ruining Jerry's coffee. Great memories of Tim and Jerry Jr. as well. Heartfelt condolences to all of his family.

The short time we have known Jerry, we knew he was a very special person and companion for Donna. For all of us who knew Jerry realize we have lost a very special friend. May he forever rest in peace. Our Love and Prayers will always be with Donna..
PS; Jerry, we understand that you were the best Ship Builder in Indiana

Tim and Kay,
I'm so sorry to hear of your father's passing. He was such a wonderful model for us young boys as a scoutmaster. I'll always think of him with the greatest fondness and respect. As the sun sets tonight, I'll be hearing the sound of taps arising from the shadows of our old campground.

Some of the fondest memories of my youth harken back to when I was a Boy Scout in St. Mary's Troop 26 with Mr. Farrell at the helm. Rest in peace, Mr. Scoutmaster.
