Your values, integrity, and honesty as a man and as a friend will always be with me. May the Lord keep you in his arms till we meet again.

I went to Wicksburg School and Jerry was my classmate until I moved away in the 10th grade. Jerry was always a fine, young man. I am proud I had the pleasure knowing him. My prayers and thoughts are with all the family. May God bless and be with you all as you recall the memories of times past. “To be absent from this body, is to be present with our Lord”. I am sure that is where Jerry is. May God’s peace wrap you in His arms.
