When Jerry and Annette moved into the cottage next door to ours in Tawas we had no idea what wonderful
neighbors they would be. If Jerry was not working on a project he was offering his help or the use of a tool to help with ours. We will always remember him sitting on his porch after his chores offing conversation, humor, and cold beverage if you were lacking. Annette, our deepest sympathies to you and your family as you grieve the loss of a wonderful man.

What a wonderful family you have been as long time friends
of my father, James Swick. My father was a close friend of Jim Droste and knew all of the family. I send my sincere
sympathy on my fathers behalf. Lana Swick
