Dad, who's going to make me brisket?...nobody does it like you do!! I swear, it felt like I went grocery shopping after leaving your house sometimes. Your giving heart and always making sure we had everything we needed and some things you just wanted to get out of the house...haha I loved your funny jokes and how you never took yourself or situations so seriously...we could all learn from you. I'm thankful for how close we got the last several years...I needed that and will always cherish those moments. I'm so proud of you daddy and to hear of all the lives you touched by being such a loyal friend to so many. I promise to watch over mom and our family and try to always make you proud. I love you with ALL my heart and will see you in Heaven one day. Love, Cheryl Lynne

The halls of USAA will never be the same. As many have already stated, you could see his smile a building away, hear his voice from afar and count on your hug and kiss. The little things that get so many of us USAA peeps through the day. Jerry, my friend, RIP and I will miss you always. Bobbie and family, my sincere sympathy, but know that he was loved by so many. We are all here for you.

Bobbie and Family,

I will never forget the fond memories of Gerry. He was one of the most fun and kindest people to be around. He was able to effortlessly make everyone else have a good time when he was around. It will be hard to hear about any future USAA Special Events without thinking of Gerry because he was always known as "The Man" for special events.
God Bless your family.

If I needed to get something done, I would call Gerry. If I needed to find out what was going on, I would call on Gerry. If I needed a friendly face and a pat on the back, I would call on Gerry. He was an extremely hard worker, a loyal friend, and, above all, a gentleman. My heart is forever heavy in suffering this loss. I will remember his ever-smiling face, dry sense of humor and caring generosity with pride and admiration for years to come. I am fortunate to have known and worked with Gerry. Rest in peace big guy! Bobbie....my deepest sympathy to you and the entire Dover clan.

We all have memories of Jerry, good, not-so-good, funny and so on. Let us all take the time to reflect on the good times and of course the funny....especially if the joke was on Jerry.

I will forever miss my dear friend, Jerry. My morning hugs, the tacos and ice cream - but mostly the huge smile that could be seen down the halls of USAA will be sorely missed. He was truly one of a kind. His love for my special needs niece, Jessica, warmed my heart more than words can say. She too loved Mr. Jerry (Jabberjaws as she called him). May he rest in eternal peace. Bobbie, Cheryl and Darrell - may God comfort and guide you through His word and give you happiness through all the precious memories of sweet Jerry!!! Love to all.

Bobbie,
Words cannot express the immense shock to hear of Jerry's passing. He truly was a man that loved his wife, took pride in his children, and relished in speaking of his grandchildren.

Through the years Jerry always stayed that kind-hearted and hilariously spirited soul that I was proud to call friend.

I wish for you and your loved ones the strength to get through this trying time;remembering your love for each other and know how much he loved all of you.

Dover Family,

I am the manager at TreusDell Salon on Huebner Rd. I have known Darrell for about 4 years now and he talks so highly of his family and heard so many great stories about Mr. Dover, even though I didn't ever get to meet him personally he sounded like an awesome man... so it is so sad to hear about your family's loss. I just want to let you know your family is in my thoughts and prayers and I cant imagine what you must be going through!

November 1, 2012

My dearest Bobbie and family - My heart is heavy with sorrow at the loss of one of my most treasured friends. I know you all must be in fog right now. I have prayed and prayed for you all since I heard the news. May God hold each of you in the palm of his hand.
I love you Bobbie! Jerry - I love you sweet man - Life will not be the same without you here!
