Randy--The passing of a father is such a terrible loss to bear, yet it is part of life. Take comfort in the love of others reaching out to you. He would want you to be strong now. Growing up, you were like a member of our own family. Our affection for you and our sympathy for this loss are with you all at this sad time. ~~Mom and Pop Miller in Alpharetta, GA

I always welcomed Jerry when he shopped a Lowe's on the weekends (when I work). He always had a kind work and a funny joke to tell. I will miss having him brighten my day at Lowe's. Jerry you will be missed. God bless you and your loved ones.
