Dear Corse Family,

From the now Colorado Davis family (my Mom Mary was Jerry's sister) we will all miss Uncle Jerry. We were the youngest of the cousins and every time we went to their house for a family gathering it was always a fun adventure. From getting rides in the old classic cars, to listening to Aunt Nancy play piano to flying down the slip and slide to watching his immense train display we knew when we went over to their house some unexpected fun was going to occur. I have been in sales my whole life and I'd like to think that I inherited some of the sales gene from Uncle Jerry. He was always engaged and full of life and his sense of humor always put you at ease and the outsider visiting never felt like an outsider. As the youngest cousins Uncle Jerry always made sure to pay special attention to us so we didn't feel left out. We will miss you Uncle Jerry but the good times together and conversations will never go away. God bless George, Mary Claire, Robert and Tommy and your families!

Dear Corse family,

What a wonderful man Jerry was. I played tennis with Nancy years ago, then had the pleasure of meeting Jerry when he and Ann Walton starting seeing each other, then marrying. Ann was a great friend of mine, and neighbor until she moved to White Horse with Jerry. My husband and I will remember Jerry's spirit, and his wedding song "Staying ALive" when he celebrated with Ann. Our condolences. Mark and Gwyn Vernon, Byre Lane, Wallingford.

Dearest Uncle Jerry,

Our family will miss you always. You shared a special kind of humor, always with a smile. We remember the rides in your old cars you restored with care, the Christmases with Mema and Granddad, picnics in your backyard with you and Aunt Nan and the wonderful tomatoes and vegetables from your garden that you and Aunt Nan lovingly grew. We will remember Anne Walton Corse fondly. Semper Fi. Rest in peace.

With love always, Deb, Claire, Barbara and Robert Howarth
