    Linda and family, I am so saddened to hear that Jerry lost the battle before the baby came. My heart and prayers are with you as I remember his sweet quiet manner and onery smile. He was always such a delight in our office. May God’s most gracious blessing hold and surround all of you with comfort.

    I was so sorry to hear about Jerry. I know he was a fighter and I am sure he fought right up until the end. His desk was across from mine at DeLaval and we often swapped dog stories. I know he wanted to adopt a dog. He will be truly missed.

Please share your thoughts ...
