    Dear Sandra and family,
    I am so sorry to hear of Jerry’s passing. Memories of him playing basketball come first in my thoughts. I can still see him. Even though we have not seen each other since our lives took us in different directions, we still share our roots in Michigantown. Jerry’s mother, Mary, was my 4th grade teacher. Your mother worked at the restaurant in Michigantown. Linda’s mother, Mrs. George, was my 2nd grade teacher. Your family played a big role in my education and thus in my life. May God bring you comfort and His peace.

    Jerry was our best friend and family. When we moved here 27 years ago Jerry was the first to welcome us. So it is only right to be the first to say goodby. You will be loved and missed by everyone in our family. I will stop at that as you always said I talk to much. Rest in peace Jerry

    When my parents (Ed and Brenda Harrington) moved to Indiana from New York, Jerry and his wife Sandy were our new neighbors. They welcomed us with open arms and they became family! Jerry taught me the “right way” to fold jeans so there would be no creases in them. I fold them that way still to this day :-). Thank you for being my parents best friend! You will be missed!
