Melbourne, FL Sunday, May 19, 2024 Jeanne and family, I was saddened to learn of Jerry’s death. He was my buddy and we stayed in contact after I retired from GEUS. I actually hired Jerry to work at GEUS and our friendship began. . I thought the world of Jerry. I can’t be there to pay tribute too since my husband and I now live in FL but I will be there in spirit love and prayers to all of you, Brenda Bolt ThornDianna K Turner
Quinlan, TX Sunday, May 19, 2024 Jeanne, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I thought the world of Jerry. I so enjoyed visiting with him at the credit union and other places where I would see him. He was a wonderful man. He always was smiling and seemed to genuinely care about others. I will always remember the time that he cleaned out my chimney because he was worried about fire danger.I won't be able to attend his memorial service because we will be out of town but if there is anything at all that I can do for you, please let me know. You mean so much to me and I would love to help you if possible. Dianna & Kent
