I’m so very sorry for Jerry’s passing, although I know now I’ll see him again someday in Paradise. My Sincere Sympathy and Prayers to you and Jen and Family’s. I’ve got some great memories of your Dad from our Chicken Hill days that will be bouncing in my head for days to come. He was truly one of a kind.

I am honored to have known him since I was a teenager- a good police officer who exemplified “at your service “

Oh my heart😩 Jerry was truly a legend in MY mind! The stories I could tell about this man who (grudgingly) had to babysit this little girl when I first came on the job would never be fit to print! But it didn’t take long before he won my respect (MUCH longer for me to win HIS)! He was a great friend, police officer and true gentleman! My heartfelt condolences to his family for your tremendous loss.
