So sorry to hear of Jerry’s passing. Praying the Lord will comfort all his family during this sad time.
Jerry was one of my friends in high school. We played football together, were members of clubs together. and roomed together in New York on the senior trip. Mostly, though, I remember him as a true friend who would do all he could for anyone.
