Our condolences to Brad and the rest of the family. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this. I knew Jerry from the lodge and had a relative of his who was a student of mine at UCA years ago. Jerry was an outstanding man, representative of a generation that is fading away in our country it seems. I always enjoyed running into him and am saddened by this loss. God Bless You Jerry, until we meet in the Celestial Lodge above. Sincerely, Mark McMurtrey

Jerry will be greatly missed. Field Trials will not be the same without him. He always had a smile on his face and could always bring a smile to your face. I got my beloved Oakley and Ruby Doo from him and enjoy watching them tree squirrels, and I just got a couple foxhound pups from him I am really excited about. I know he is in heaven running dogs and watching over everyone. Prayers for your family during this difficult time.
