Jerry was An amazing man who cared deeply for everyone. He was a face I looked for daily while working at Walmart. Anytime he called me after I moved away we would spend at least an hour catching up. I will miss him dearly and have comfort knowing he's even reunited with his wife.

Jerry became a dear friend over the 20 years I frequented Walmart as he watched my daughters grow up. We chatted all the time. He knew my family traveled every summer & we shared experiences. Jerry told me about Queen Wilhelmina State Park in Arkansas. So my husband & I took our girls, we hiked and stayed at the lodge. Jerry told us about his favorite place in New Mexico where he & his wife loved to go, as well as the Montezuma Hot Springs. We took our family & it was beautiful, wonderful. I miss our visits. I still look for Jerry at Walmart. But, he talked about his wife all the time so I know they're together once again, heavenly trips united! I'll miss you dear friend.
