Jerry was a great guy and will be truly missed. I loved his laugh and the way he always joked with everyone. I always enjoyed visiting with Jerry when we were in St. Louis visiting with family.
Through his kind, gentle demeanor and his humility, Jerry was a very positive role model for me. I was blessed to have known him. Rest in Peace Jerry.

Ruth, it is always a difficult time to loose those we are so close to. I wish we could have been with you in person but we where vacationing in the Black Hills of South Dakato and arrived home Saturday evening. I just now received the email about Jerry’s passing.
The memories I had was when Jerry would pick you up and spin you, this was back when you both where young.
Prayers are with you and the family and know you have wonderful memories of jerry.
