We have lost a great friend. Jerry was one of the people in the Idaho Falls bowling community that I highly respected. He was always caring and was able to bring a smile to my face. He will always be loved and missed. Our prayers are with you all.

Jerry was a skilled operator.I was the architect on the Westbank Hotel and had the opportunity to work with Jerry on the Westbank and many other projects when he was with Hunter-Saucerman Construction.

I knew Jerry many years ago when we were on the crew that built the Westbank Tower. Jerry was the crane operator, no doubt the best in the business. He was a great guy and sure to be missed by many. Thoughts and prayers to family and friends.

Sorry to hear of Jerry's death. I remember him well from the "old" days in Shoshone ID. He and my husband worked together for Ovard Construction Co and we both have fond memories of Jerry. Our sympathy to his family.

Jerry was a friend to all. Beth I am sorry for your loss. The bowling community and all of the friends he made throughout his reign at Bowlero will miss him very much. If Heaven has a bowling alley, then the top five are there now. Kent Hemsley, Tucker Morishita, Fred Wright, Larry Hill, And Jerry Thorpe. God bless all of you.

Jerry was a good man, I was married to him for 7 years. He helped so much with my kids, so patient! He introduced me to the bowling world of Idaho Falls. We had some fun times. He was very much loved for his kind and gentle spirit. My kids respected you as do I. Thank you for those years. You saved me & my kids. You will be missed by everyone that knew you. Respectfully, Carol...

So sorry to hear about Jerry...Beth may you and family find peace knowing Jerry is no longer in pain..Jerry was a great friend and he will be missed by many..Rest in peace my friend.
