Dear Brenda, Staci, Dave, Bobby and families,
Jerry was a proud Veteran and I remember how much he liked and respected Skeeter Stephens; and they enjoyed great chats together at the legion over the years.
Attached is a poem I read at Skeeter's graveside service, which I think is very fitting to Jerry as well. This is passed along with permission from Skeeter's family, along with their sincere condolences on your loss.
May the love and support of your family and friends bring comfort in these sad days.
Take Care & God Bless You,
Michelle

I knew Jerry for a short time in the early 1980s when we both served in C Bty. I was a gunline officer, just new to 1 RCHA, and Jerry was a (somewhat) grizzled older NCO with considerable TI and who tolerated junior officers such as me, only just. We got along fine, and perhaps the fact we were both Bluenosers helped. Jerry gave terrific service to the guns throughout his career, for which we are all thankful. I've attached a photo I took of Jerry and (then) Major Don McLaughlin, BC C, at the OP at Grafenwöhr, Germany, in January 1985.

Jerry and I served together in B Bty in the late 1970's. He was the TSM's Driver [ John Symons] and I was the FOO/Tp Comd. FALLEX in Bavaria was wet and Jerry was always the man with a smile and had something cheerful to say.
