Such a shock to hear today of Jerry''s passing. We''d just spoke to him not to long ago when mom and he were chatting. Growing up Carl and the boys always seemed to be part of my parent''s (Elmer and Mary) friends. The fruit market was often visited and remembered with fondest. Jerry was especially fun. Never lost his sense of humor. He will be missed, especially by mom She always looked forward to their chats. Our deepest condolences to the family with prayers of comfort. Love the fish picture with his great smile.
