    Jerry was kind, noble, and the most likable guy you’d ever want to meet. He was also a very intelligent person who had dreams of writing his own novel series. He will be greatly missed by those who knew him.

    Hoppy, So sorry to hear about this. Much too young, but I always say it is God’s decision to make. I have walked a mile in your shoes and I know that nothing I say can really make you feel better, but my prayer is that the Lord will comfort you and your family as only HE can. I didn’t know him but if he was anything like you, he was a good man and will be sorely missed by friends and family. Love and prayers, Patti Crockett

    So sorry about Jerry. I didn’t know about it until I read it in the newspaper today. Our thought and prayers to you and your family. I had just talked to him around Thanksgiving at Ruler’s. We talked about old times and I asked how you were doing.
