Very sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. I haven't seen much of him in the last few years, but I always looked up to him. A very good guy and one of the best fishermen in the area. He will be remembered as those things and much more.

Jerry was a great person and a super friend. He spent many hours with me and my parents around the docks of the Wilson Harbor. He always treated my son very nice as he grew up learning how to fish. Jerry will be missed but I'm sure he is reminiscing with my parents and many other friends that have been waiting for him. Please accept my deepest condolences.
