I first met Jerry when I worked at the Elkhart Clinic and he was a Judd's Pharmacist then later as his auto insurance agent after I retired from the clinic. He was a remarkable person, wonderful sense of humor, and always in great spirits. Go Fly With The Angels, Jerry.... We Will Catch Up Later

Fond memories of life in the country in the Wakarusa area. It was many years ago in 50's. His parents were terrific people, I remember Jerry and his sister Linda most of all. May peace be upon your family and may we all cling to faith in Jesus.
