Sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. When we were young we boxed together at Muskegon Eagles with Pete Petroskey our Coach. I did not see Jerry, because our lives went different ways. When I did see Jerry, we would pick up where we left off. Over the years Jerry would call me over the phone and share Bible Verses from his Bible. Will miss Jerry (Crowbar) Love and Prayers to Family. Dave and Pat Crowell

Will never forget all the special times we had together. A cousin so special can never be forgotten, may his soul rest in peace.

Crowbar (as everyone called you) even though we haven't seen each other in quite some time, I have many fond memories of the fun times we shared at the family reunions, and special occasions. Will never forget the movies we watched as our parents went to the football games on Friday nights. And best of all, when you raided the candy at uncle Russ' store in the Heights (candy mountain as we would call it). So happy we were able to keep in touch over the years with our letters. I am saddened...
