Not sure what to say?

I first met Jerry and his older sister while in Vandalia elementary school and Cassopolis High School. Although I haven't seen either in many, many years, I still recall what a kind and friendly person Jerry was. His family have my deepest sympathy.

Sorry to read of Jerry's passing he was a good man and my 8th grade basketball coach. RIP.

Oh man, so sorry Karen. Jerry was a wonderful advisor to me when I taught at CMS. He was so kind, helpful, non-judgmental, and fun. I enjoyed his guidance as a new teacher. Thinking of you, Karen. I also got to enjoy your wisdom when I moved to an elementary setting.

Sending sincere condolences to Karen and Jerry's family. We have many wonderful memories of Jerry and our friendly get-togethers over the years. He was always a happy, delightful, and positive person to be around. Our hearts go out to Karen who took such good care of him to the end. He will be missed by so many. Dennis & Sue Derhammer

RIP Jerry. You were a great veteran guide for my formative years in the profession working at CEL together.

I Am so sorry for your loss, Karen. Sending you lots of hugs and love.

Hearing of Mr. Culp's passing I wanted to share what an amazing educator and team player Jerry was. He was always kind and carrying and it was a pleasure to be on his team. Here's to his family as they reflect on a life well lived. Cheers, Dana Darlington

Great teacher! Sorry to hear about his passing

He was a great teacher. I had him as my teacher in 6th grade. I remember him and Mr. Reese´s rivalry.
