I stayed over at their Home numerous times while growing up with his son Dennis. I know Dennis parents were very kind and good people and would do anything for you. I didn't know he Served in the Army. That right their shows what kind of Man he was. Serving his Country with Pride and Honor. God Bless Jerald and his Family. I know this is a difficult time.
