Not sure what to say?

So very sorry for your loss Joyce. Prayers for you and your family.

Jerry,
After my father passed away, my mother met and married you. You did a great job of loving and protecting her. You may have become my stepfather but for the last 24 years you were my friend and My Dad. You will be greatly missed. I will always cherish our time together. Love and miss you. Ronnie

I am lost for words. A sweet sweet man who was loved by so many. My soul weighs heavy for everyone. We will never understand the reasons to why, but God gained a soldier, we gained a beautiful angel. To my granny Joyce and my father Gil I send my love my strength and my prayers. To the rest of the family...May God give you all peace understanding and strength. Hold on to each other, love each other and know the big guy casting his rod up there with the angels.

Praying for peace and comfort for you Karen, Donna, Carla, Nanette and the rest of the family.

Jerry was one of the best friends from the lake that I had the pleasure of knowing. You always knew where you stood with Jerry and he was always diplomatic. I have no other friends that are like Jerry. I will miss him but know that he did not suffer in his untimely death. He was always waiting for me to retire so we could go fishing. Rest in peace Jerry! God will welcome you to his home!

Dear Carla and Family,
May God grant your Dad eternal rest and consolation to you my friend, and all his loved ones. You are in my prayers.
