so sorry for your loss. Jerry was a wonder neighbor for the four pole road residents. He knew no strangers and always had a kind word for all. He established the neighborhood watch that most neighbors joined. It has been effective.

Kay and Trenton,
Jerry was an incredible and loving neighbor who helped us and our girls countless times. Starting and leading the neighborhood watch, removing our concrete and answering neighborhood watch calls are just a few. We will always remember his helping attitude, a nd smile. He was a great man who will be missed from our neighborhood.

Jerry Sr. impacted me by his love, care and willingness to go the "second mile" for someone in need. He exemplifies a servant's heart and now is finally at rest with the Lord. Kay and family - we are praying for the comfort that only the Holy Spirit can bring in such a time, but we are mindful of I Thes. 4:13-18 which gives a surety of our future reunion!
