Uncle Jerry was a super guy! He had a great outlook on life. Even though time would go bye when we wouldn't see each other as much, it was so easy to pick up where we left off. He will be truly missed.

I had the privilege of getting to know Jerry and Carol through my in-laws, Ford and Bobbe Titus. What I remember most is his smile......what a wonderful smile. My wife Jill would often comment that Jerry had an "inner glow" about him which would radiate outwards from his warm heart.. Spinnakers, Lac La Belle, The Lake Country, and the World, has lost a truly wonderful human being. We love you Jerry.
