Jerry was my paternal cousin and we always had a great time when we were together. When I was a young teenager, he introduced me to rock and roll music. He got me started listening to Deep Purple, a band I still love. We hunted some together as well. I think of him often. He was a cool guy. I loved being around him. I love and miss you, Jerry. - Cousin Jeff Turnes 7/2/2025

An all around good fellow who helped make livin good and workin easy. im deeply saddened by his sudden departure and I along with countless others who worked for him will remember him so fondly.
Warmest condolences,
