As the first anniversary of your passing approaches, I think about you almost every day, my friend. I wish that we had more years and more pylon races together. You taught me a lot and I appreciate it. "Ready, TURN!"

Even though I lived behind Jerry in high school I really did not know him. It was at Midwestern when we pledge the fraternity that you become a brother and learn the character of your fellow brothers. Jerry was a friend and he met Sharon that were always together. I just reunited with them after 50 years last year. Now you must always take the time to keep in touch. We were going to meet and go eat together. now it is too late. I am sorry for the tragedy in which his death occurred. Our prayers are with the family and I know they will miss Jerry.

Ed and I have known and loved Jerry and Sharon for more than 50 years. His humor and intelligence made him the most interesting friend. We visited with them at the last Phi Sig reunion and remarked later about what a good visit it was. Our love to his remarkable family and the wonderful memories they share.
