Not sure what to say?

I still think of Jerry all the time. I still miss him so much. I can't believe its been10 years already that he's been gone. I wish I could still call him. In 10 more years, I will still be thinking about him and saying the same thing.... Rest in peace Jerry.

Dear Jerry, I can´t believe it has been 8 years. I miss you and think of you often. I will never forget your infectious laugh and big heart. You were a constant in an ever-changing world. A person without an ounce of malice. I will always miss you and be grateful that you were part of our lives. You were a guiding light especially through my teenage years.

Jerry was truly one of the good guys. He used to stay with us (in Virginia) when he came through on business. He would always shoo my husband and I out the door to dinner and offer to stay with our boys. We'd come home to find pennies all over the living room--where he'd taught our little rascals to play poker! :) He had a big laugh and an even bigger heart.

My dear Gerry. We may not have had the opportunity to get together as often as we would have liked. I always knew I would have a good bely laugh-none as good as the last time we were together. When I now hear the clouds rumbling , I will think of you , up there...laughing. I am so glad Sandy became part of your life. Thank you for all the care you have given him. Gerry's cousin, Janet

You will be greatly missed and though you may not be here with us you will never be forgotten. I love & miss you. R.I.P Sandy, prayers go out to you, you are in my thoughts.

I will miss his smiling and the happiness he brought in to the pharmacy no matter how he felt he always joked and laughed I am saddened of his our loss he was a great man my thoughts and prayers are with the family and Sandra I am here for you Linda

Jerry always made everything more fun. He meant a lot to me and my children. He was always willing to listen or lend a hand. He will be greatly missed.

Thank you for your service.

Jerry had such a big heart and colorful personality, he filled the room and filled our hearts. He was a trusted father figure to me; he was a dear friend; he was so many more things. I will hold him in my heart forever and do my best to honor him by trying to demonstrate some of his many, many great qualities: humor, consistency, laughter, empathy, good listening, love of music, loyalty, and honesty...and that's not all! May God bless you, and tell him one of your great stories for me ;)
