I recognized Jerry from his photo in the paper and feel so sad for his family. They lost a great man. I did not even know his last name, but the news of his passing brought tears to my eyes because I have so many great memories of him, personally and through the neighbors. Jerry was our mailman in Potsdam when we bought and rehabbed a dilapidated home on his route. Jerry was the mobile, one-man cheering section, telling us what a difference we were making. It was a slow process, and Jerry was there, five days of the week, appreciating and applauding, just taking those extra seconds to notice the changes, offer kind words of support. A neighbor who had suffered a stroke had a beagle named Ranger who occasionally went AWOL. Jerry came along on one such day, just as the neighbor was hurrying to get into her car to try and find Ranger. Jerry was the one who found Ranger that day and brought him straight home. That was the kind of man he was. I can only imagine the impact he had in his 66 years on thousands of people who never may have even known his name. He was a treasure.

Brother Lambeth was such a familiar face at Conference time and I think I remember you folks from years ago at Richland Camp as well. I'm really sorry for the hole his death leaves in your lives. Though I doubt not that he's in Heaven, you still have to live here on earth. May God hold you very close and make the days ahead go by swiftly.

Joyce and Family, I can't tell you the heaviness I feel and how much I'm going to miss this nephew. He called me his favorite Aunt. My consolation is that God knows what He's doing even though we don't. I recently heard this quote:
"God is too kind to be cruel and too wise to make a mistake." We must continue to believe that although it isn't always easy. What a wonderful consolation is our hope of Heaven and the reunion there. I'm getting more and more homesick for that country. Please be assured you will be in my prayers in the days to come.

I was very saddened to hear of Jerry's passing. I worked with Jerry at the Potsdam Post Office. He was such a happy, helpful and friendly man. He was always willing to lend a hand to anyone. I enjoyed talking and working with him. When my husband passed away, he drove to the service in St Regis Falls from Harrisville to pay his respects. He wasn't working in Potsdam as he had transferred to Copenhagen. And because he was always concerned and thinking of others, I really respected him immensely. He has left a lasting impression on so many people. He was, as he so fondly use to say to his co-workers--"The Best of The Best". He will be missed.

Brother Jerry was a good friend of mine for the short while I knew him at Allegheny Wesleyan College. He was an older student, so I turned to him for advice from time to time. He always had a very kind and understanding way. May God comfort and bless you, his family and loved ones, at this time of earthly loss. Because of Christ, we shall see him again!

Our family experienced the love and helpfulness of Rev. Jerry when my father (Rev Paul Miller) fell gravely ill while serving at Richland Camp. Jerry stood beside us as our family dealt with the uncertainty of Dad's life. We are forever greatful.
As God has given Jerry rest, may He grant you peace as you mourn this loss. Our prayers and sympathy is with your family.

We are praying for each and everyone of you that God will comfort you now and in the days ahead. Jerry was one of the friendliest men we have known. So glad he got to preach in the pulpit at Trinity the last time he was down. He was living for the day to meet His Savior and Mom and Dad and now He is witnessing it. RIP Jerry until we meet again.

Bro. Jerry as chairman of the examining board of his conference would often begin a session with a young minister by asking "Tell us about your spiritual journey in life thus far and where are you now?" Well, Jerry I know where you are now and if you were to speak to us you would say: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course. There is laid up for me a crown...."
