We wish to express our deepest sympathies to Pam and her family for their loss. Jerry was a wonderful man blessed with a heart of gold, a sense of humor, a zest for life, and a wealth of friends who loved him very much. He smiled often, and was a very talented handyman and artist who willing shared his knowledge with those who wanted to learn. We've known Jerry for many years, and worked with him on reburbishing homes. It is because of Jerry, that we have been able to remodel our home and know what we are doing. He was always so very helpful. His absence will leave an emptiness in our lives, as we are deeply sadden by his death. Our prayers go out to his family, and if there is anything that we can do to make this unfortunate event a little easier to bear, we are here for you. Jerry, we will miss your cheerful smile, and your wonderful friendship. God Bless You!

I am so sorry for your loss. Jerry was a great person. I first met him years ago when I hung out with their daughter Vicky in middle and high school. I continued to know them through work through the years. It was always a pleasure to see and talk to both Jerry and Pam. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you!!!
