I am so heartbroken to hear of Jerry’s passing! I thought the world of him. We’ve known each other for probably 12 years or longer. We worked at borg warner together plus living out in Lester I saw him all the time. We used to aggravate one another and pick at eachother all in fun! That’s one of the things I loved most about Jerry was his humorous personality! I’ll be praying for his family! Sure gonna miss him!

Jerry will be missed. He was a good friend and a big help to me these past 20 years or so. Always willing to help in any kind of weather and any time of day or night.
My prayers are with Jerry and his friends and in St. John 14 we are told: “Jesus said, Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansons: if it were no so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you…I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” James
Today and always, may loving memories bring you peace, comfort, and strength.
“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.” John 11:25,26
So sorry to hear about Jerry, enjoyed working with him for many years. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family
