Shirly, Vickie, Danny and Beckie - I'm so very sorry to hear about Jerry's passing. I will never forget all of the childhood memories I have from spending time with your family. Jerry and Danny taught me how to knee board and water ski at Folsom lake. Jerry would stop by Safeway and buy us a pink box full of donuts and sub sandwiches, chips and sodas. We had swim meets on Saturday and we were out having a blast with you guys on Sunday's. Please accept my deepest condolences, I will never forget Jerry's kindness and both he and Shirly always treating me as one of their own. Love, Georgia Sady-Burt

Jerry was a one of my closest Uncles; I was honored to have been able to work with him during the good ole” Safeway days. He has been a great listener and always made me laugh? I was also honored to have him bake one of many of his beautiful cakes on my wedding day. Aunt Shirly, my thoughts and prayers are with you and Vicky, Danny and Becky and all of your grandkids
