To My Family,
We have had so much loss it seems too much to bear, but we are stronger than the pain. Our memories of better times that were and better times to come carry us.
I'll never forget my Uncle Gerry, and I know he and my Mom are catching up on things and giving Brandon a hard time for being there so early.
I love you all,
Randy

Jerry was like a brother to me after being part of my family for over 30 years. I will cherish the memories of our motorcycle rides, and special times hanging out in the shop. Will miss hearing "quit it"
Love and Prayers

I knew Jerry through his wife Dee. I would call to find out to see if she was on her way to Discovery to work with me. I would ask him what time she left and exactly when she would be in the shop. He patiently would let me know the time she would be arriving and he would be right. He had the patience with me and would phase sometimes, don't know if he was smiling at me at that point because I kept asking for a specific time. To me he seem like a very caring person.
