We always felt up to date upon an unexpected phone call or email from Jerry re our Phi Gamma Delta mutual friends and news of Ill. Wesleyan Univ. He will be truly missed. He was certainly knowledgable and current. A joy to be with and to have known Our sincere condolences to the family.

Fond memories of Jerry from years ago at State Farm. Peace and sympathy to Kathy and family. God bless.

Kathy, so sorry to hear about Jerry. We sure had some good times back in the `80s and the State Farm days. Please keep me posted about the Bloomington Celebration of Life. May all your memories comfort you at this time.
