Dr Ring, I have just heard of Jerrys passing today. I am so sorry for your loss. He will be missed terribly by so many. Connie and I are in shock. I saw him before all of this pandemic mess hit, he was always one of the most upbeat people I have ever seen. Please let us know if we can do anything for you. I miss Jerry. Rob and Connie

Jerry had a big smile and a hearty laugh and he never met a stranger. Dr Ring's office is not quite the same without him.

I first met Jerry in the 70's when I first joined the VBPD. At that time Jerry was in the Detective Bureau. I did not work real close with Jerry but we would run into each other around the Public Safety Building. Jerry was very personably and a joy to be around. All of us who knew Jerry will miss him dearly especially his laughter! The Lord bless you my dear friend and your family!
