Just wanted to say we remember so vividly how blessed we were when you and Jerry joined us at Cornerstone providing both piano and singing talent to our church choir and worship service. We were not aware of Jerry's passing until Thursday while at another service. Please know you are in our prayers for peace and comfort.

Jerry-was a Great Guy and Christian Friend. I talked with him almost daily--he would call me or I would call him--Between us both we would talk and try to solve the World's Problems-lol-or we thought we were anyway. Jerry loved the Lord-loved his Wife and his Son and everyone. Jerry loved to travel and see places. Jerry will be missed and not forgotten. As Jerry and I used to tell each other if one of us left before the other--We will see Him again---Jesus gives us that promise-if we're one of his. So Mr. Jerry I'll see you Again. God Bless you Family--Love you all. David

Spent some time with Jerry in the last few weeks, his untimely death is shocking. Jerry and I were in Mount Airy Rotary together and in the same industry. I am saddened by his death and the loss of his friendship as is everyone in the pest management industry.

Katie, my sincere sympathy to you and your family. I went to school with Jerry from elem.school through high school, rode the school bus with him, endured a couple of years of music lessons, and had many good times through the years. He always amazed me with his musical talent and his ability to play by ear. He really tried to help me with piano, but I just didn't have "it" like he did. He was a kind hearted, good man who enjoyed sharing his love for music and his Lord with others. That was his ministry. Love and prayers.

Katie - So very sorry for your and your family's loss. In fact, everyone who knew Jerry had a very huge loss. He was so sweet and talented. I'll never forget how well he played the piano. I know how troubled you must be, but God is "big enough" to heal that broken heart and give you peace. God bless you all. We love you!

Jerry has been my mentor and I his protege for the last 15 years. He taught me how to be a first class pest control man. He has truly been like a father to me. I am a better man for just knowing him and Katie. I was just with him this past Saturday and never dreamed he'd be gone in a couple of days. He never met a stranger and was always willing to help a neighbor,friend or stranger in need. I will miss him terribly! Love you much Jerry!!!!
