Wendy and families - just learned from Wendy of Jerry´s passing last Friday. I am sick and heartbroken and can´t even imagine your sorrow this whole that is left to slowly heal. I was referred to Jerry to see about some items to sell and I found Jerry carrying, witty, professional, dedicated, smiling, interacting with his family and customers with a charm few possess. I wished I had known Jerry and Wendy all my life he and Wendy and families are the family we would always want around us to build you up and to have as neighbors. I could go on. I don´t live in your area but my dog and I cherished the opportunities when we had them to come and spend time with Jerry and Wendy going over my items and I will be forever grateful for the small number of times I and we had the greatest pleasure interacting with Jerry and Wendy. I enjoyed our visits and I know Jerry was doing what he so enjoyed and I can´t imagine how he struggled to do and continue to work on and with what he enjoyed. Jerry you will forever be a shinning part of my life having met you and Wendy seeing how effortlessly you enjoyed your craft and spending hours your life with Wendy and your loved ones. May god be with you all. Blessings to Jerry and Wendy and your families.

Jerry--I have spent so many hours with you, in so many years--buying my silver coins. You had so much knowledge about those coins. And enjoyed sharing that knowledge. Although, we couldn't chat much, you were concentrating on "your job".
I sure will miss not seeing you in that chair. It really belongs to only you.
You are an honest and enjoyable person to be around, and I will certainly miss you. Wendy's just won't be the same.
God's Blessings,
