Dear Jerry's family and friends,
I have fond memories of our times together in high school and around Lee Park. Because I was sitting on the corner of the Ave and Division St. One day after we graduated when he drove by, we wound up joining the U.S. Navy together and that sent me off in a new direction in life. I have always been grateful to Jerry for that. I hope you can find peace knowing he had a positive effect on my life.

Frankie and Family,
This is with great sadness in the loss of your loved one, Jerry. One of my fondest memories of him is when he came to the lake because he wanted to see Denise's log home. He spent the afternoon there as he said he liked log homes. I am glad he came up. Jerry, Rest in peace and be happy. Frankie, cherish all the fun times you had together,those will always be in your heart, Your friends always
