Jerry was a good friend of mine. I met him back in the 80”s when he was the supe for Blaze Construction. We built a lot of homes since that time. He was the kindest man and I never ever seen him mad. That tells you alot about him. His heart was pure. I know he is in heaven. So it’s not good bye it’s I’ll see you later. My condolences to all his family near and far.
