  4. Jerry was a classmate at Everett High School . He lived a block away from where we lived and we shared many adventures growing up. jerry and I were both in the Navy Air and we both graduated from WWSU. We were there at different times but were able to share our experiences. The love of old cars were one of the things that we and many others enjoyed experiencing with each other. i will miss my friend even though we grew apart in later life. my condolences to his family. Jerry will be missed by all whose lives he came in contact with.

  5. We were some lucky folks to meet Jerry and Judy! Three years of fun letters, cards, and fellowship have made our lives happier because of their love and support. The faith they have has supported us through the hard times. Judy and family–we are so sorry for your loss. We will miss him very much and hope God will envelope you in His arms and comfort you.
