Jerry was an old and dear friend. We've been friends for many years but haven't seen much of each other because we've lived miles apart. He had a great personality and always upbeat sense of humor. He'll be greatly missed.

JERRY WAS UNIQUE. HE ALWAYS HAD A STORY. ALWAYS HAD AN OPINION AND ALWAYS, ALWAYS HAD TIME FOR HIS FRIENDS.HE WILL BE MISSED. JERRY USED TO JOKE THAT WHEN HE AND MY SISTER DIVORCED, THAT THE DECREE STATED THAT HE GOT MYSELF AND TWO BROTHERS(BILL AND GREG) IN THE DIVORCE.HE GOT US OUT OF A LOT OF TIGHT SPOTS, COME TO THINK OF IT HE GOT US INTO A LOT OF TIGHT SPOTS. I CAN SEE HIM DRIVING HIS CADILLAC ELDORADO AROUND TOWN. HE ALWAYS LIKED HIS CONVERTIBLES. PROBABLY THE ONE THING I LEARNED FROM JERRY THAT I'LL NEVER FORGET, IS DONT SIT ALL AFTERNOON IN FRONT OF HIM AND LET HIM FEED YOU "STINGERS " ALL DAY. HE NEVER LET ME LIVE THAT DOWN. JERRY WAS UNIQUE AND I'LL MISS HIM.
