I am Moses Perdue's daughter, and friend of Jerry. My deepest sympathies and prayers for Jerry's family. Jerry has been my Father's best friend for 30+ years. They met at Travis Air Force Base where they worked together. My Dad and Jerry were like brothers. My Dad is going to very saddeded that Jerry is no longer with us. I had the opportunity to have dinner with Jerry and my Dad in December of 2002. I was graduating from the Sacramento County Sheriff's Academy and had dinner with them to celebrate. My Dad had flown out from Georgia and was staying with Jerry and he always did when in California. It was like having dinner with two proud Fathers! Jerry was so proud of me! It was such a pleasure to share that moment with the two of them. I have so MANY fond memories of Jerry! I have known him since I was just a kid...
I want to attend Jerry's funeral to honor him, and to honor what he meant to my Dad, and the repsect that my Dad has for Jerry. Jerry meant so much to both my Dad and I.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Pamela Perdue
