My husband and Jerry worked together for a while. Though I didn’t get to know Jerry very well, but I remember him being a hard worker, soft spoken and very good at what he did. Our condolences to the family.

Sorry to hear Jerry finally lost the battle. You and your family are in my thoughts. Try to remember the good times…..unplanned drives to other states, then exploring them, biking along the White River, cheering the kids on at sporting events and all the hiking and picnicking your family has done at all the beautiful parks. Forty-one years builds a lot of great memories. May you find peace.
