| JERRY WAS ONE OF THE NICEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER KNOWN. HE WAS ALWAYS POSITIVE ABOUT LIFE AND CONSTANTLY HAD A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE. I REALLY GOT TO KNOW JERRY IN PILOT SCHOOL IN ARIZONA. HE HAD A GREAT OUTLOOK ON LIFE AND THE FUTURE AND LIVED EVERY DAY TO THE FULLEST. ALWAYS POLITE & COURTEOUS, JERRY WOULD BE GLAD TO HELP ANYONE IN NEED DISPLAYING HIS USUAL POSITIVE ATTITUDE. JERRY & SAMMIE KAY JOINED ME ON ONE OF MY MANY TRIPS, THIS TIME TO ALASKA IN 2005. WE HAD A WONDERFUL TWO WEEKS TOGETHER AND REALLY ENJOYED OUR TIME SEEING THE SPLENDORS IN ALASKA. MAY I LEAVE US WITH ONE THOUGHT AS WE GRIEVE JERRY'S DEPARTURE: I CELEBRATE HIS HAPPY LIFE AND REJOICE KNOWING HE IS NOW IN A BETTER PLACE REUNITED AGAIN WITH SAMMIE KAY. WE ALL LOVE YOU JERRY. PLEASE SAVE US A PLACE IN HEAVEN FOR A FUTURE HAPPY HOUR!!!!!!! GOD BLESS, PETE |
