Jerry was a charter member of Sullivan's Island Baptist Church, an honorary member of Awendaw Baptist Church, a proud Navy veteran and a member of the Ft. Moultrie Masonic Lodge.

Jerry was one of the nicest people we had the privilege of knowing. He was kind, funny, devoted to his family and always honest. We loved getting together with Jerry and Faye playing Pinochle. We have such fond memories of our times together on Armsway.
Faye, Jay and Trenda,you are in our hearts and prayers.
