Linda, I will miss Jerry and his laugh. I called him a year ago when I was in Denton, and he was so upbeat about his recent surgery. I remember the times at Lee College and the times I had with "The Mouse" as I so lovinly called him. I could always call him that nickname & he knew who he was talking to. He was a great friend, and he will be missed in so many ways. I am again so very sorry,

To Jerry's loved ones:

To know Jerry was a real pleasure. He was so full of life and fun to be around when we were kids. He still carried that with him into adulthood. I am so thankful that we got to see Jerry at the Reunion 2000 and that he got to see most all of his classmates for one last time. I talked to Jerry on the phone after the surgery and he was ready to play golf.. and felt great.

As the Bible says "Unforseen circumstances befall us all". One cannot know what lies ahead. Jerry was a wonderful person.. and it will be great to see him again.. in better conditions.

Love to you all;

I had been talking periodically as I have COPD and was really interested in the transplant. He seemed to be doing so well and I was concidering having the same thing. He really seemed upbeat and very happy. At least he got some good quality to his ife by breathing on his own before he got ill. It wasn't all downhill. I wish you my sincerest condolances. Zula and Gordon Hyatt
