Hi Jerry,
Your absense will be dearly missed at Dianne & Mike's Christmas Eve get-togethers. Jim truly enjoyed your bowling chats. Remember to drop those "pennies from heaven" to let your family know you are still around. Fondly, Nan & Jim Guthrie##imported-begin##Nan & Jim Guthrie##imported-end##
Lyle worked with Jerry at A. J. Johnson in the '60s. In the early '70s Jerry was a sales rep who called on Lyle at Palmer Lumber Company in Chehalis. Lyle remembers that "Jerry was one of the nicest men that ever was on this earth." We both valued his friendship. Our love and prayers surround you all.##imported-begin##Lyle and Claire Tracy##imported-end##
I have known Jerry for many years. In the last few years I have taken my Dad and Jerry to Hoo Hoo meetings. In spite of Jerry's obvious discomfort, he was always gracious and smiling. I'll always remember him as having a kind word for everybody and the twinkle in his eyes. A real gentleman who will be truly missed.##imported-begin##Chris Rucker##imported-end##
Dear Aunt Liz, Dianne, Mike and Family,
Uncle Jerry was a wonderful, kind, caring man. (Dianne, I was always jealous because you had such a cool Dad!) My fondest memory of him was when he filled in for my Dad and walked me down the aisle at our wedding. He did a great job.
I will miss him. See you tomorrow.
Love,

I have know Jerry for a long time thru Hoo-Hoo. When he was living on Harvard Ave I used to stop in most every afternoon while I was taking my son's dog for a walk & we would sit, have a little nip & talk about old times. I missed him when he moved away but we managed to talk on the phone once in awhile.He will be missed.##imported-begin##Burrell Rucker##imported-end##
Dear Mrs. Turner, Dianne, Mike & family,
It was a priviledge to grow up on the corner of Harvard and Stanford. I have very fond memories of life in Fircrest. I remember "Mr. Turner" always out working in the yard and garden. The front yard literally was a putting green. He always had time to talk, and had a friendly hello. He was even "somewhat patient" with us when we'd continually knock the slats out of his fence playing soccer in the street.
With Mom, and now Jerry gone, it just isn't the old Harvard Avenue anymore, is it?
I'm very sorry for your loss. Please accept our deepest sympathy. I hope to see you on Friday.
Your fellow Harvard Ave. kid,
