Oh my Bro, R.I.P. I will miss you, and will never forget you. We had fun driving Veterans to V.A. Clinics and more-much Love. God bless you and keep you. Numbers 6:24-26 Moses. The one far right.

Jerry and I were classmates from grade school thru 11th grade at Westville. Lots of school memories, a lot with sports. Jerry was a competitor at the best in basketball. Rest in peace.
