Danny, I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many good memories of Jerry…driving to our orthodontist appointments in Geneseo listening to Randy Travis, and when he would visit us in Home Video. You and your family are in my thoughts..
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.I know he will be missed.
Lynn, Kurt, Mark, Jill, Dan, Rebecca, Darci, William, Riley, Jordan and all of Jerry’s Family. I wanted to say to you all how very sorry I am from the bottom of my heart. My heart hurts and there is a void now that no one will ever be able to fill. Jerry was a wonderful man and always from the first time I met him, always made me feel a part of the family. I remember his laugh, his kindness, his sense of humor but mostly how much he loved all of you. He was so proud of his kids, grandkids, family and Lynn he loved you very much. The world will not be the same without him in it but I know he will always be with us. I am so very thankful for the time I had with him and will cherish it always. Kurt I love you honey. Much love to all of you.
I am truly sorry for your loss Mark. Thinking and praying for you and your family. Take care and remember i’m here if you ever want to talk!
Mark, I am so sorry for your loss. Take comfort in the fact that he is in the hands of god. Although I did not know your father he definitely raised a fine young man. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Terri James
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Lynn. We have so many good memories of Jerry! We will miss him. Love you!
Mark and family, we are so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during your time of grief. We know how close you were to your dad, Mark, and can only imagine how much he’ll be missed.
We love you, Gregg and Lisa
Jill and family, I am sorry for your loss. Though I did not know your father personally he must of been a great man. I pray for you and your family. May God bless you all.
I never knew Gerald personally, only through his son Mark was my perspective on his father gained. Mark always spoke highly, with caring & great respect of his father when he shared an occasional story of his youth with us. I empathize with the pain of your loss and wish you and your family the best in this time of mourning.
We had the good fortune to meet Jerry and Lynn as well as Brutus, Casper and Bucky several years ago. They were always a pleasure to talk with. Jerry had a contagious smile and quiet wit about him so that you couldn’t help but like him. We will miss seeing him and Lynn walking their dogs, sometimes in not the best of weather, and hope she keeps up the “walking the dogs tradition”. Miss you Jerry!
I was very saddened to read of Gerald’s death. John cared so much for him. We heard many, many stories of his wrestling escapades, some good, some not so good. He always spoke of Gerald’s toughness, his desire to win, not only for himself but for his team. You have our family’s deepest sympathy, I would just bet that there is a good wrestling match going on in Heaven right now. Mariellen finster
