Sorry to hear this of Jerry passing away. Know that he was looking forward to a school reunion that was going to happen this summer, which now has been cancelled. He was a great classmate, as we got to visit last time we had a reunion. Prayers for the family, Bob and Bev Evans.

So sorry to hear, and am glad my wife and I got a chance to visit with him and Andreia at Big Boy in Tecumseh when they came back about a year and 1/2 ago.
He was really looking forward to a class reunion but this pandemic sure put a stop to a lot of things:
We will be in prayer for all of you in your loss.
I was sorry to hear of Jerry’s passing. He was always kind and lots of fun and I pray he will Rest In Peace.
So sorry to hear of Jerry’s passing. Thoughts and prayers for the family.
Jerry, you were always so good to Jerry and me. We have been friends for 50 years. You will be dearly missed. Hope you are up there, fishing with Jerry and Jack !!!! RIP my friend.
Jerry was one of my best friends. He was an exceptional, super nice guy. I enjoyed all of my time with him, and I will never forget him.
Although I didn’t have the privilege of knowing Jerry long, I quickly came to respect him and enjoyed time spent with him. My heartfelt condolences go out to all of his family and friends.
Fly high Jerry, Julie I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. My heart goes out to you and your family. He is up there sharing stories with my dad. Love you. Sheila
