We are just in shock knowing that God took you from us too soon. You were a great friend and neighbor. We will miss the chats at the fence and the laughs and your great sence of humor. You will be missed.

A man of the heart, gentle poet, respectful listener, articulate, and most of all loving, caring. Jerry, you walked the walk, a mentor. Thank you. See you on the other side, but I hope not for quite a while, and a delightful sense of humor.
