I’m sorry for your loss Jeff, Sandy and families. I have so many great memories with your dad. He was one of my favorite dance partners. I also remember going frog hunting with him and all you could see was the ball cap on his head moving on the top of the water. He

Sandy and Jerry Jeff I am so sorry for your loss and pray that in time your hearts will heal. Always cherish those precious memories that you shared with Jerry. I remember him when we were kids and thought he was a cool guy!! His love for drag racing reminds me of my late brother Clifford. These two cousins had the same interests it seams.

The Uncle Jerry I like to remember
He answered the phone "Hello, this is Johnny Cash". He was a fun loving man. His larger than life personality was infectious and influenced the way he lived. He was the life of the party and made friends wherever he went. He liked to dance and love country music. And from his drag race days to him pulling up in his low rider truck, the memories are endless. He was my biggest supporter in troubled times and even when the chips were down he projected...
