So sorry to hear of Jerry's passing....I looked forward to hearing his roaring laughter when I saw him. He was such a pleasant man, so caring and giving. He truly was a giant gentleman, my husband and I will miss seeing him, and miss hearing those fishing and hunting tales!!

Mr. Jerry was a man I could always count on to have a humorous way of putting things into perspective. I remember helping him out on the "bread truck" and then later putting up groceries in his store as a youth and enjoying deer hunting with him as an adult. You made an positive impact on my family and it was very much appreciated. I send out my condolences to the family, You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I have so many fond memories of Mr. Jerry. He fussed with my daddy, cashed my checks, called me out when I needed it. Peace and love to his family. Gloverville lost a statesman.
