Jerry knew me as Kenny Couch. I was saddened by the news of him passing. When Jerry was 26 and I was 21 we became friends. We worked together as Boilermakers. Also, Jerry and his friends used to take time off from work and camp out at White River in Arkansas! He will be greatly missed prayers for family comfort...

Jerry was my first cousin about the same age, but he was like a brother when we got together. The last time I saw him was at his mom's 100 birthdays! My heart and prayers go out to you, Aunt Olivia and all my cousins for our loss. May Jesus welcome Jerry to heaven to be with Uncle Jerome, my Dad, brother, and all our family, and console us in our grief.
