Knew Jerry from Ford Motor Credit and First United Methodist Church of Pensacola. He was a mentor and did so much for the community. Pat, he spoke so fondly of you and know how much he loved being a Dad to you, Courtney. So sad to that I only found out about this today. To Pat and Courtney, please accept my condolences. Jerry embodied the best of us. Hope he´s enjoying his 64 Stingray and enjoying the rewards of a life well lived

I apologize for not knowing about or seeing this earlier as this last month has honestly been in all honesty, very hazy.
Speaking as Jerry's daughter, I so appreciate the kind words you have stated about my Daddy. He is such a kind, loving and gracious man and such a wonderful person to grow-up with.
He taught me so many lessons, passed on his sense of humor, shared his gratitude and his honest and genuine love for other people and JOY for life.
During these tough times I think of his favorite Bible verse: Phil 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." And the motto he always encouraged me to follow, "Life's a cinch by the inch, but hard by the yard."
My Daddy packed more into his 62 years than most. This year on his birthday (December 26), please share with me and think of him enjoying his most beloved place in this world, Navarre Beach. I know he's there everyday.
God Bless,
Courtney Floyd Zinke
