Not sure what to say?

We met Jerry when the family moved to Corvallis. Whether it was school, pictures, flying or Facebook, Jerry showed up and contributed. We shared many fun times and a few sad times. Thanks for being a good friend Jerry.

I worked with Jerry at Leading Plywood. I remember when he started his business and left the mill. I remember Jerry as a good person. RIP Jerry

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

R.I.P. Jerry It was an honor to call you my friend.

Such a positive man, with a kind smile ready to help others. I liked Modek A cars too and always wanted Jerry and his wife to take me for a ride in the model A Rest in peace for such an honorable man and classmate

We had all of our children's mile stone photos taken by Jerry. Such a staple in the community. Deepest condolences to the family.

Jerry was such a great man. I got to know Jerry and Melanie very well while I had a mobile DJ service in the valley for 20 years. He was the go to for senior pics, wedding pics or any other event. He touched so many lives with his talent behind the camera. I am sorry to hear of his passing.
