Dear Sherri and family, it is very sad to learn of Jerry's passing. He was such a kind friend during the years I lived in Lancaster. I loved his quiet and sometimes humorous style of introspection. Many times I saw first-hand the warmth and charity he would show to people going through tough times. His camaraderie was a gift. He will remain an inspiration forever.

My sincere condolences to Oakley and Jerry´s other siblings and especially to Sherri and her family. Last time I saw him was in Church with Sherri and the Vaughns. He was a quiet, soft spoken guy and easy to talk with. So sorry for you loss.
