I will never forget Jerry´s lovely singing. Really enjoyed the duet we sang together, at Barcelona Road Baptist Church years ago. I recently had the opportunity to see Jerry for Physical Therapy, at the Atrium. He remembered my son, Ryan, and asked about him. My condolences to Rita, and all of the family. See you in Heaven, Jerry.
