Our heartfelt condolences go out to Paula, Melissa,and Marcus. I had the pleasure of meeting Jerry years ago while hanging out with my best friend (his nephew) John (Junior) Stewart while he was home on leave; I believe 1967 or 68. Jerry took Junior and me for a ride in his new Ford 390 Fairlane 500(?) Years later we moved into the neighborhood and I remembered Jerry right away. He will be missed.

I am so sorry for your loss. Jerry's Mom and my Mom worked at the Dundee post office together many years back. I would sometimes run into Jerry at the nursing home in recent years, and he was always so upbeat and friendly, and his smile would light up a room! You have my sincere sympathy. Sherri Bose Garber
