Jerry was one of the kindest men I have had the pleasure of knowing! He was a great friend and neighbor to my parents for years. He was always there to help with mowing... Loved to mow.
Love you Jerry! We will miss you here but know God is taking good care of you!

Uncle Jerry...I bet grandmother and daddy were so happy to see you when you arrived. Knowing their crazy sense of humor I bet those two were hidden behind the doors of Heaven when they opened to receive you. I'd be willing to bet they gave you a good scare when they jumped out with laughter and hugs.

Many memories of my childhood spent at grandmothers and your weekly visits with her. Always, sitting first with grandmother at the kitchen table (with the back-drop of plates hanging on the wall)then hours later you both move to the living room to finish visiting....
~~~~Love you Uncle Jerry~~~~

Jerry was loving and kind to his family and friends. He was always smiling, and a joy to be around. He will be greatly missed, but we know he is smiling his biggest smile to his creator and all the angels.
