Scott&Marc, so sorry to hear about the death of Jerry. Some of my most fondest memories are the competitive golf matches we had at Jacksonville CC. I was fortunate to see and play 9 holes with J.P. when I was home for Thanksgiving and this was probably the last time he played golf.
He was a good friend and will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
