Sorry Jerry Dean had to leave us. I am happy I got to know him in the past six years. We met in Dollar General both with our grandaughters playing together on toy aisle. Have to say he was one of nicest men I have ever met. Later on I loved hearing his hunting stories. Now through mini-cheer I have got to know Jean and as soon as I did I felt they were a perfect match. Prayers for you Jean and Scarlotte and the rest of the family.

So sorry to hear this. Many good memories from deer hunting with this family. Jerry was so generous to allow our family as well as other friends to set up camp in his back yard. We always enjoyed when he and Ms Jean came over to visit us in the big army tent:) We had so many good times there. He was quite a character with his stories about hunting and fishing. We will always remember him as a kind hearted man. He will be missed. Prayers for the family from the Howards and Gypsy Camp.
