We have been trying to call Diane and talk with her about what a difference Jerry and Diane made in our lives. Every phone number we have is incorrect except Jerry's. It brings a smile to our face and a tear to our eyes. We will continue to try and reach Diane.

Diane, Kelly and family, Our condolences and prayers for you all. Jerry was my squadron commander in the 328th Bomb Squadron, Flightline B-52 Formal Training Unit at Castle AFB, Atwater, CA.

Jerry and I went to Marlin High seems like he was always with you Diane so this has got to be hard but on the upside you had many many good years. I wish I knew you guys were so close to Brenham all these years would have liked to have visited. Lets have a toast to Jerry just how good can a good man be to be half as good as him.

Class of '74 Here Softly call the Muster.....

My prayers are with you Diane and your family at the loss of your soul mate.

Thank you for the memories

Prayers for Diane and family. Loved this guy since he was 3 years old. Worked many years with his mother and mother-in-law. Knew his dad too and we had an uncle in common. I will miss him even though we really saw each other since he graduated high school. Heaven is a better place now.
