Not sure what to say?

Jake was a good friend and mentor to me growing. We lived close by and did many things together. Jerry was not only very smart but was a excellent athlete in at least two sports, baseball and basketball.. -he was the best Murray athlete never to play on the school team. Jake was very talented in many ways. He will be missed!

Joan, Kristie and Karen, my heart goes out to you at this time. So thankful to have known you as neighbors and friends. One memory I have of Jerry is the first snowfall of significance and you would see Jerry on his cross country skis heading out of the court. Cling to your memories, it will bring a smile to your face. My sympathy to all of you.

Joan, Kristie and Karen, my heart and love goes out to all of you. I can’t imagine your grief but I do know how the four of you were as a loving family. The beautiful memories you hold and the four grandchildren were his pride and joy, he always went the extra mile and was proud of his family. Jerry you will be missed so very much, but we will meet again.

Prayers for Joan and family.

John and I have known Jerry as a member of our line dance family since the old Rodeo days - over 20 years, for sure. His enthusiasm for line dancing was boundless and we loved seeing him on the floor. He was a great example of active aging and certainly inspired many of us to keep moving. His passing will leave a big hole in this community. Our deepest sympathy to his family, the people whom we know were most important to him.
