Jerry was such a special person, and a good friend. Such a pleasure to be with him, Elaine and Madison. I will miss him dearly. Jerry's and Elaine's home will not be quite the same, but I will always miss him not being there. My heart, prayers and love go out to their families.

Jerry was a man with a ready smile, quick laugh and always there when I needed his help. He will be sorely missed. Our only consolation is that he is now with our Lord. May he rest in peace. He was a wonderful man.

While on this earth Jerry made a good name with God and his fellow man, as solomon wrote,A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth. He is loved by us and he will be sorely missed by us. It is our hope that the "father of the celestial lights" will comfort elaine ,madison and family and surely the name that Jerry made with God will serve him well.

Jeannette and I will miss Jerry both professionally and personally. He was always there when you needed him and a joy to talk with. We were blessed to be in his life, but it is a huge void in our life now that he is gone. We think of him every day. God bless Elaine, Madison and the rest of the family - you know you can always call on us if you need anything. You are in our hearts.
