Jerry was my neighbor for years. He would help you in anyway he could. Him and his wife Linda did my daughter's wedding reception and he was even in the wedding. He will be missed alot. Rest in peace Jerry. Kathy Bryson
Jerry served in Vietnam with my dad. I never had the opportunity to meet Jerry, but dad always spoke very highly of him. Reuniting with Jerry several years back was a highlight of dad's life. I would like to think they are in heaven conversing about the old days. My Condolences and love to Linda and his family.
