We are truly sorry to hear of the passing of Big Jerry. He was a good neighbor, hard worker, good Dad and a good fisherman. We have many fun memories of being friends in a great Eastside neighborhood. We shared jokes, pranks, cards, picnics, potlucks, cookouts, and Wallace Elementary Fund Raisers. We laughed, raised some pretty great kids, and shared our days as young parents through thick and thin. You will be missed. Bless your journey home- save some fish for us!
Thinking of you with fondest memories,
Jon & Kristy Steele
