Jerry was my first cousin, the son of Shelby TOM and Aletha FERN. I had not seen him for too many years, but will always remember his quick and sincere smile.

Dave, Julie and family-
So sorry to read of Jerry’s passing. Jerry and Carol were positive influences on you and that has carried over to your children and grandchildren. You and Julie are examples that the community should acknowledge as leaders. Thank you Jerry and Carol for being a big part of their lives. You will be missed grandpa Jerry as well as Grandpa Larry!
Jerry (and Carol) were our first friends when Don and I married. Jerry was a great boss and Don was proud to work for him. 60 + years of memories won't fit in a short post. We shared leftovers so neither family had to eat the same meal twice. Jerry and Carol have opened their house and hearts to me many times. We have enjoyed visiting in Columbus, Grand Lake, and Colorado. We have laughed together and cried together. Jerry was a good son, brother, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend. My condolences to Carol and family.
