Sympathy Messages
Sorry to hear off Jerry’s passing. I lived across the street from him growing up. We travelled to high school together. Rode motorcycles together. New his mom and dad and brothers, and sister. Went to party’s together. He liked to have a good time. Use to see him at the coffee shop. Will always remember him.

So sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. I worked with Jerry at Northern Tel and very much enjoyed his straight forward attitude and comments. After he retired I would always see him at the coffee shop and we would catch up. He was a great mentor for me at work and we also shared a passion for our fire departments. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.
