I have a lot of memories with Jerry, Tim, Fred, and Shannon. All four at the station made a lot of early mornings fun and worth getting up for. Jerry was a cool guy. Lots of memories. I'm gonna miss him

Jerry was a strong Christian who was a quiet person with a sense of humor, which came out as you got to know him. He was an avid bicyclist and we talked about bicycling often over the years. He was part of the LBT camera and audio "crew" for many years and got to work with and around him there, and also at The St. Jude Telethons through WLIO at the Lima Mall. He will be greatly missed.
