Our walk through this life is filled with straight paths, warm breezes, curvey, rockey roads, ups and downs. Kerri, Papaw Fontaine, Brandy, Paul, Ben, Sam and Alex, I know you loved him every step. He was one of a kind, very special and will be missed.
Kerri, I talked to my boys Matt & Chris, and they have fond memories of chilli cheeseburgers on the Isle of Palms with Jerry, Sam, Ben, & Alec. They send their condolences as do I.
