I was so shocked to hear that my Uncle Jerry passed on to his Heavenly home. I have so many fond memories from my childhood of him. He and my dad were my heroes when I was little. :) Anyway, I was blessed to have had him in my life. Rest in Jesus' Arms.

Jerry and I first met when we were co-workers at Big Cedar Lodge in the purchasing department. We were fast friends from the start and enjoyed many light moments together. It was great knowing him and it was my great fortune to call him friend.
