Not sure what to say?

He was one of the really good guys. We were fortunate to have him as a friend.

All my love to your family. Praying they can feel GODS loving arms wrapped tightly around them.

Miss my dear cousin terribly. He was the happiest, cheeriest, most positive person I knew.
He raised three caring, special children with Sue, and they celebrated family always. Be at peace that you have left a wonderful legacy, Jerry. We will miss you and will think of you - especially when the Ducks are playing. God bless you and keep you lovingly in his arms.
Love you, cousin.

May God bless, comfort, and strengthen you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Jerry was a rock at Hamlin Jr High/Middle School. We were all better teachers because he set the bar high. He was also such a wonderful human being. Compassionate, positive, funny.....always willing to lend a hand. I was lucky and blessed to have known Jerry.
His faith was so strong...may he rejoice with his Heavenly Father now.

May His light bring you peace.

I never had U as A school teacher Mr. Bishop. But, as my neighbor, U provided A safe, warm house in which I spent many A day playing with your son & learning life's many lessons. I was sad when your family moved across town. Now, I see that was yet another life lesson. Rest In Peace Sir, you sure made A difference in my life!

Jerry and Sue were pillars of the church in which we invested many years of our lives. We would do well to leave a legacy as strong as theirs.

My sympathy to the Bishops for your loss of Jerry., husband, father, grandfather. He was a kind and thoughtful person. He made the world a better place .
