Jerry Rogers was a very good man. He served his Country in Vietnam, worked hard his entire life and was a wonderful husband to my sister, Louise, "Daddy" and "Papaw." I'm blessed that he was my brother-in-law and friend. I'll always remember his many kindnesses to me and my family. Love and prayers for all the family.
