Jerry will be missed in our real estate community. He was a kind and respected member, who always seemed to have time for anyone who needed it. It was obvious his faith played a large part in who he was. I admired this in him. He will be missed. Praying for comfort for his family.

I used to work with Jerry and thought he was such a nice fellow. I loved hearing about his travels, especially when he and Barbara went to Hawaii. Prayers for Barbara and all the family. God bless
