I was Jerry´s switch driver when he worked for Jen-bar trucking we would meet in the parking lot of Kohl´s across the street from the Albany post office and swap trailers.we would go over and load up mail and head back to our starting points , you wouldn´t think hanging around laughing and talking just one hour a night you could get to know someone but I think I did Jerry is funny , loud ,boisterous,opinionated ,thoughtful,caring and most of all a genuinely great guy. we kept in touch after going over to work at the post office, not seeing Jerry every night just wasn´t the same , but I thought we´d get together sometime and go ride the motorcycles and catch a car show not realizing it would never happen , I miss you buddy

Hard to believe my old friend is gone. Too many years have passed since seeing each other. We had a lot of fun years ago, and I’m thankful for the time we had. The world was a better place with Jerry in it, and heaven has gained a true angel. Blessing to the White family, may God heal your broken hearts.
