My sincere condolences. I believe this may be the Jerry Collier with whom I I corresponded as a pen pal back in the fifties, who lived at 208 East Walsh, Vandalia. Happy days.
So sorry if thus is mistaken identity, but I do still have the ketters and photos from that time so I am saddened.
Best wishes
