Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort in God's word the Bible recorded at Acts chapter 24 verse 15.

I just read Jerry's obituary in today's Tribune. What a tribute to Jerry and to the Best family. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and send my sympathy to Janet, Jay, Peter and Julie and to their families.

Jerry was a mentor and friend who never forgot a person or a moment. He gave me the opportunity of a lifetime and I hope he knows the difference he made in my life. This a time of sadness but a life filled with so many great memories for everyone that knew him.

My condolences to the Best family and friends for your loss

I met Mr. Best through his son Peter while attending college and could tell what a special person he was from our first encounter. He was always a favorite over parent's weekend. A terrific person and a great dad! My condolences to the entire Best family.

Condolences from the Anlauf / Longley Family. Great memories for me of the wonderful times at the Best house centered around the PV High football games; as well as many shared fun times amongst Jerry, Janet, Bill Martin Sr & Jr. - and the Anlauf men. Again, sincere condolences.
