Sandra and family Thinking of you in these difficuit times
Sandra,
We were so sorry to hear about Jerry.
You and your family are in our prayers.
Kevin & Lynn
Jerry was a fine man. The picture showing him with a cigar in his mouth is perfect. He always had a great attitude and was a great operator of any equipment. I’m sure his family will miss him and the community up there has lost a fine asset to it. He will be missed by many, but forgotten by none. Mike Amerson
This man was such a huge part of so many lives.
My brother loved and respected this man beyond what words could describe.
He was the funniest man I have ever known.
Back years ago him and Danny Slay would have a bonfire in the backyard and we would all go and just have the best time hanging out and singing around the fire. Him and Danny kept us rolling the entire time! They were both hilarious to be around, but when you got them together–it was always a night of so much fun.
I will always remember the great times with Jerry and I know his friends and family will miss him dearly. I will be praying for you all.
I will always remember Jerry sitting in his Motor Grader chewing on that cigar.
Prayers for the family.
RIP Jerry
