Jeri Sue, Liz and Family:
My mom just called me to tell me about this, I am so sorry for your loss. I know he is with Billie and Katie now and watching over you. Jerry was such a great person and neighbor. I smile every time I drive by the house on Park Ave thinking of all of the wonderful memories we have of having Billie and Jerry as neighbors and how lucky we were to have known them both. When Jordan was little, Jerry would return from one of his fishing trips and bring over frozen fish sticks and tell Jordan he had caught them for him! I can still rememberJordan rushing out the back door on Saturday mornings and standing on our deck, yelling "hey Jerry, whatcha doin?" He would pester Jerry until Jerry invited him over to the garage! Jerry gave Jordan his first model airplane and helped him build it. He still has it :) We are thinking of you all and keeping you in our prayers.
