Dear Amber,
I just learned of Jerry’s death. So so sorry for your loss.
I’m so appreciative to have had the opportunity to see Jerry again and meet you at Jerry’s class gathering in August 2024. Jeffrey (my brother) always raved about what a wonderful person you are and the great care you gave your Dad. After meeting you, I agree 100%!!
May many happy memories help you to endure your loss.
Sincerely, Lauren Backus Haag
Dear Amber, Carrie and Liz,
I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. He was such a a great guy. I’ve known all of you my entire life, your mom and dad and all of you were staples at our Allen’s Hill house for quite awhile. A great family man, great dad, friend, always a smile and a kind word. Usually a story about the good old days too. He will be sorely missed by many. Hold tight to the many memories and stay close with each other. Love and sympathies to all of you. With much love. Kimmi Blair Richardson and family
Great memories of Jerry from high school and ever since . One of the strongest people I’ve ever known , he defied the predictions off the doctors. A good friend I could count on . It was great to see him at the reunion ever summer .. I’m sad . I miss him . Amber is unbelievable . So dedicated..
Sorry to hear about Jerry. When my best friend bought her new house Jerry did most of the “fixing up”. I knew Jerry before but really got to know him and his sense of humor. He will be missed.
So sorry to hear this. He was a great guy and gentleman, along with a sweet lady, Mrs. Curran. When I was nine or 10, He took the time to let me think I was actually helping him build our garage. Happy memories from childhood of him and his wonderful family, when they lived down the street from us and later in their custom home. Deepest condolences to his family.
Much sympathy to all the Curran girls! Your dad sounds like he was a fun guy! God speed your family’s healing.
A great friend who will be so missed and in our hearts always. Love and prayers to family. Open arms if you need anything. .Our friendship will be a lasting memory.
I love the picture, the family information, and what Jerry liked to do! He will be greatly missed!
Jerry was around for most of my life. Many memories. Time for Peace and Rest. Love always.,…. Karen
