I was very sorry to hear about Jerry Albert. He was a great guy, we spent a lot of time hunting and fishing on the delta in the 1960's and early 70's. We shared a duck blind for many years. I am sorry that we lost track of each other but I will always remember him.

Thinking of Jerry brings back so many memories of great times, and yes the laughter that was always such a big part of every occasion.
He touched our lives in ways we will always treasure, May memories of the times you shared with your Father bring you comfort.
With Love,

It was so sad to hear of JP's passing. We have many memorable stories of him on the Delta. The most famous is of JP falling asleep on the beach on a chunk of styrofoam and waking up floating down the channel.
He will be truely missed.
