Jerry and I attended trade school together in San Diego, where we became friends. After finishing school we would visit each other from time to time. I see us as having been kindred spirits. I always liked and respected him.

Jerry I met in Renton and a lot of residents knew him as he wondered thru the city. He was a friendly and had a nice smile. Jerry always loved his dog Lucky. Luck will be lost now and Lucky is a keeper. I am sorry to hear about his passing. I always thought of him often. RIP my friend.

Jerry loved nature & animals and he was deeply loved by family & friends! Since he was the youngest child, he was also a little spoiled by his siblings, especially his sisters!
He had a kind heart!
Rest in peace gentle giant!
Love you my friend,
Rozanne
