Jerry was a gentleman who genuinely cared about the people he worked with. He was instantly popular with the folks in our division. Great guy! Great employee! He made everyone around him a better person and a better employee. I sincerely regret not staying in touch with him.

Marjorie, Donna and I were very saddened to hear of Jerry's passing. He was my best friend at State Farm. We had over 30 years of friendship through work, sports, and of course, poker. We so enjoyed your visit to Arizona a couple of years ago. We will keep you and Jerry in our thoughts and prayers.

Marjorie, Johnathan, Jeremy and families. Our deepest sympathy in the loss of Uncle Jerry. He and I were just 6 months apart as we grew up! We used to live coming to Roanoke to play together and he lived coming to our farm for adventures. He was more like a brother than an uncle! We pray for peace in your hearts a for peace in your hearts, knowing he is free of pain and sadness, celebrating his new heavenly life.
