Linda, Sherrill and I were talking the other day about the Math party in Sherwood Forest. All the best to you. Will

Linda, Sorry to hear about Jerry. My grandson Will is major birder. Will Misner 703-674-7764

Rabbit and I both were in awe of Jerry's many talents. It was such a treat to run into him around DC. It was like a little gift each time. A true Renaissance man. See ya' later, Wilton.

Jerry was a good friend & fellow J.O. In HS-6. Always one for a good laugh, he was also an exceptional pilot. The “Big Motha” patch was just another example of his great humor during trying times while flying CSAR in North Vietnam. His many successes after Navy typify this remarkable man & his inspiring leadership. RIP shipmate.

A talented handsome man and a patriot. God bless his soul.

Linda, sorry to hear about your loss. We enjoyed Jerry & your company on the Gemini tie ups we had together. Also, Jerry's knowledge of Naval History which he shared with some of our Scout leaders at the Naval Academy Museum. Fair winds to him. Gary Greenip
