    Sorry I could not attend. I have good memories from the practice field where he beat me on the head with the practice dummy and made us a better team by always pushing us to do better. He was a great person and will be missed by friends and family.

    Dear Bev, Deb and all the family,
    You have our sincere sympathy. My age and the weather prevented me from being with you.
    I have such fond memories of you and Jerry. Laughing and talking with him at our reunions was something I enjoyed. He was always so happy and kind. Our prayers are with you.
    Love, Jean Wonderly & family and Carol Baker
