Jerry was a classmate in the Jackson High School Class of `63. We just had our 60 year reunion and spoke of Jerry fondly and miss him. He was a good man.

Jerry had such a great personality that you just had to like ! Always a smile and a laugh that will never be forgotten. I’d say he was probably the most interesting of all my relatives ! Think of him often and just smile . Jim

Jerry was one of a few men I've known that knew what he believed and lived accordingly. My condolences to Jerry's family and friends.
Jerry was a college roommate, fellow traveler in Europe after college, and friend for 40 years thereafter. When I last visited him in 2010 he was, as always, insightful, positive about the present and future, and happily building his Q-200. I will always remember him just so.

My sincere sympathy to the Brinkerhoff family. Jerry and his family were an important part of our family's activities at Helmer School, the EUB church and our community in general.
His obituary describes him as honest, loving and devoted. How wonderful a statement.

I first met Jerry when I was two and he was five, when my parents built a house next to his. A few years later his parents built a house up the street and I'm sure I spent more time there than they would have liked. Since he was one of the "big" kids in the neighborhood I was usually trying to hang around, hoping to participate in whatever he was up to... and it was often something that wasn't mentioned to our parents. I remember the '55 Chevy he fixed up and painted... then the '58 Chevy....
