Knew jerry as a cook at the 44th mash unit in Korea. We played a lot of basketball and later he found me and we talked some on computers back then. Thought he had throat cancer perhaps. A tually thought he was married then too. Perhaps Tu. So kinda wondering if this is the same jerry. I have pictures from Korean yearbook. Just bought Gander. Lol.

Dear Patty,
Andy & I just heard of Jerry's passing. We were out of the country, such sad news when we returned. Our prayers are with you & your family. May God bless and keep you all in the palm of His hands. Turn to Him for comfort. May Jerry rest in peace....he was one of the good guys. Steelers nation has lost a great fan, but we know he's up there rooting for his team. Much Love, your former neighbors Toni & Harris Andrews.

Patty,
Me and my family will be praying for you at this time of great loss. Jerry was a great man and was a joy to be around he would always take time to spend with people he barely knew. I will always remember Jerry. Patty, God has a plan and he was ready to enjoy Jerry himself.

Patty,
Jerry's death is a great loss to all who knew him and grew up with him . I have many memories but the one I treasure most is hearing that basketball bouncing as he walked past the house to practice. to this day whenever i hear a basketball being bounced as kids walk by. I always think of him and smile.
God Bless!

Patty,
Nancy and I send our love and pray for you in this difficult time. As you may recall I see Jim, Jerry's brother, every Friday at our Men's Bible study and he keeps me informed about you and the extended family. We were so saddened to hear of Jerry's death. I hope you are well. Grace and peace through Christ our Lord and Savior. All our best to you and Michael, Carol and Nana Belle. Much love, Sig and Nancy Tragard

Jerry,
You will be missed. Thank you for all the wonderful stories you've shared, the manuscript you've written and the good feeling you leave your readers with. I feel privileged to have known you and Patty. You two are wonderful people and inspiring couples.
You may be gone but you've left behind a legacy -- your books. When I read your books, I feel that you haven't left at all. We still have big dreams and magnificent plans for your books. I feel that we can still accomplish so much for your novels and I'm holding on to the fulfillment of your dreams.
Patty,
Please find comfort in the thought that Jerry's watching over you now. You may have lost a husband but heaven has gained a literati angel.
May God comfort you and your family in this difficult moment,

Patty, Our family is deeply saddened by your loss. "Mr. Jerry", as my children fondly called him, will be missed. We enjoyed the many conversations that we had with him. He was very thoughtful during the loss of my husband. If there is anything that we can do for you, please do not hesitate to let me know.
