I grew up on Tomberlin Road and I went to school with the Meggs boys. Ronnie was in my senior class. Since moving back home I saw Jerry everyday. It felt like he was the watchman here and it made me feel safer some how and I sure do miss him. He helped our family with his kind heart during the loss of our brother. The neighborhood lost a jewel and we will all miss him.

So sorry for your loss. I remember the Meggs boys when I was a little girl and their mom, Margaret, used to do my mom's hair. Will be praying for the family.
