I am saddened to hear of this great man's passing. I send my prayers and condolences to his family.

Was saddened by the notice of Jerrys passing. He was a neighbor on Woodriver Drive and he gave me my first introduction to Mercury motors and props. His home was a happy place and we always waved when passing. He was a good man and we all will cherish memories.
