I was shocked to hear of Jerry’s sudden passing. The family has lost a Father, Husband, Brother, Uncle, Grandfather, and a true friend. I have fond memories of Jerry, and the things he has done for me. Most of all, I will remember his laughter. Make those precious memories a source of comfort in this difficult time. My deepest sympathies to all. Jerry will be truly missed.
Sincerely,
Lila
I thought of Jerry often. In 1986 he installed electric baseboard heating and ceiling fan in our cabin on Blue Mountain. They continue to keep me safe here. He was very efficient and kind. I am sure he continued to be both
