I am sorry to hear the news about Jerry. It has been years since I've seen him. I have great memories starting from middle school going through high school. Jerry, Steve Sharp, Mark DeLavaga, and I climbed trees, built forts, camped out, and rode our bikes as far as we could - remembering to be home before the street lights came on. Our exploration of the city grew as we all got cars. I would even run into Jerry on an offshore Louisiana on an oil rig. The world has lost an adventurer. May God bless Jerry's family in this time of sorrow.

When I saw Jerry's name this morning I knew it looked so familiar, it has been such a long time since our families have been in touch. I remember your whole family, at West Pensacola Baptist Church, years ago. I am so sorry for your great loss. Your family will be in my prayers as our Father in heaven will give all of you comfort during this time of such sorrow.
