Judy & family wanted you to know I am thinking of you at this difficult time. Hope it helps in some small way to know others are thinking of you. Elaine McHenry

Jerry was a big man with an even bigger heart. All of the people from my generation that grew up in the plan can agree that Jerry looked after the kids in the neighborhood as if they were his own. He enjoyed seeing my three grow into adults and was always there for help or advice. Jerry always put others before himself. Even in his 80’s, he could be found clearing neighbor’s driveways in the winter or working on his lawn in all other seasons.I’ll miss my friend and neighbor of 26 years. I am happy that you are suffering no more and find comfort in knowing that you are in a better place, alongside of your beloved “mouse”. I enjoyed sharing ice cream or an iced tea on the front porch, talking about the good old days. I’m glad we were able to be there for you and share a meal every now and again. We’ll always have a stuffed pepper in your honor … until we meet again.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
