I remember the many parties we had at Jerry's parents place when Francis & I were first married. His Mom, Lorraine, went all out on the parties! God bless his children, grandchildren and his 89 yr. old Mother.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, may God comfort you in your time of loss. I remember seeing Jerry when I was a young boy. I loved going over to Melvin and Loraine's house. I still remember when Melvin and Loraine only had a basement for their house. May the God of peace rest upon you and your family. Randall N. M. Holm

I will remember Jerry as the big, gruff, teddy bear who helped get me and my friend's golf cart unstuck by picking it up. Fond memories of working at Parker and golfing - seems like yesterday! My condolences to the family; RIP Jerry!

Jeri Lynn & Dan,

May happy memories and the promise that Jerry is now with Lois bring peace to your family.

Grandpa Jerry will be deeply missed. He was one of the "team" Grandpa's and my girls loved him dearly. Such a kind heart and always cheering on the girls. He had such a sweet way of making my girls feel like they could easily refer to him as Grandpa, which was special to them since their own grandparents are so far away. Thank you Jeri for sharing him with our family and we will have you lifted in our prayers. We love y'all and will miss Grandpa terribly.
