PAM;

Mom (Alfreda Smith) and I express our sincere sympathy to you and the children and grandchildren in your loss of Jerry. We have talked with Rosie several times since his death. It was so nice they were able to spend time with you and have those good memories. Wishing all of you God's blessings.

Dear Peters Family:

I worked with Gerry and Pam at Electrolux for over a year and really enjoyed working with both of them. Gerry and I worked very closely on financial information and he made my time at Electrolux very much easier and was great to work with. My sincere regret for your loss.

Mrs. Peters,

My deepest sympathy in your loss. Gerald and I were very good friends when he lived in West Jefferson, OH. He was best man at one of my weddings and I was best man at one of his. This was during the 70's and I helped him open his pizza shop called The Pie Shop. I have not heard from Gerry for several years and this is a complete shock. I am very sorry. Tell Scott and Chad that my prayers will be with them. My son, Robb, and Chad were good friends when they were very young.



God Bless!!!

My condolences to Pam and the Peters family. I knew Gerry only for a brief period but saw how loving and caring he was to Pam and his family. I hope Pam and the Peters family can reflect on all the great memories and love Gerry provided them and know he will be in a better place.

I worked with Gerry for a couple of years at EMA, and found him to be a great mentor and leader. I am deeply saddened by this sudden change in his life. He will be forever remembered and cherished. Pam, I hope your life remains full of memories and love knowing you were his life. I thank you for sharing him with us all and allowing us the pleasure of knowing your friend, and soul mate.
