We will miss Jerry. If you wanted to find him, you could just drive around the 'park', where he would be working on someone's lawn. He was talanted, pleasant and memorable. We will miss Jerry. We are here for his family.

Mr. Lenz was a great man, I take care of two of his grandchildren which he loved. He was a caring person and a hard worker. He always strived to have the best for his family and friends. He helped us tremdously with his grandchildren to get in school and I will always praise him for that. May you rest in peace and enjoy the celebration of your new life. We will miss you.

Mrs. Lenz & Family,
Ditto to the hard worker comment. He and Gerry, Jr. landscaped our home at Secluded Oaks. He took a horse/cow pasture and created a work of art. Our yard is a testimony to his landscape design skills. Along the way we became friends and recommened him to many of our neighbors. He was a loyal, dependable, and fun person to be around. We are sorry for your loss and hope this note reinforces how much he was admired and respected.
Sincerely,

Chuck and Karol Tawney

We will miss our neighbor Jerry. He always had a friendly smile, or would joke about something with us.
His talent with landscaping was amazing.
We're so very sorry that he won't be across the street when we come back this winter.
Our sincere sympathy.

Jerry was a hard worker - He made us feel guilty as he was always working in his yard (and we were not), or transporting very heavy bags of mulch in his truck. He told John that "you have to take the brown stuff off John in order for the new to grow"! We will miss him.
