Jerry in his Santa suit.... classic FVH Christmas party staple. Always cheerful and included everyone!

Sincere condolences to all the family in the loss of your beloved Jerry

When we threw in together, it was an experiment. (We weren't sure if we could get along.) That "experiment" lasted almost 20 years as we grew closer and closer until we eventually decided together to move on-- still the best of friends, but in different directions.

We worked together erecting some 500+ buildings in 36 states. Raised kids together. Roomed together when we were on the road. Ate and drank together. We hunted together, played and argued together, celebrated and cried together. Up or down, through thin and flush we weathered all storms and got through it together. We learned a lot together and shared a lot together. We also got into all kinds of escapades, adventures and troubles together... And always got out of them-- together!

I can count on one hand the number of REAL friends I have had in my 70-yr life. For fifty of them, Jerry has been one those few. I will miss you, ol' buddy. I already do.
