My family and I had the good fortune of knowing Jerry and his family when we all lived across the street from each other on Sylvia St in Winston-Salem. Jerry was one of the first firemen in Winston-Salem to operate their new Snorkel Truck. As a young teenager he took me downtown to the station to watch them train on the truck. He would pay me to mow his yard because he would remind me that a man needs spending money. I even babysat for his boys Michael and Chad so he and his wife could have a night out occasionally. He always had time to sit with us boys in the neighborhood, tell us about some of their rescues or major fires and then end the chat with a life lesson about how we could make a difference in someone's life. Although I hadn't seen him in many years I often thought of him, his family and those good times with him from long ago. He was a true public servant and totally loved his family and friends. Thank you Jerry for your service and mentoring. Much appreciated.
