It is with sadness that I received the news of Jerry Spiller passing. I have many fond memories of Jerry and events at McCallum activities. Jerry always a well meaning hard working and hard playing gentleman. I had several classes with Jerry and there always was something popping. It was always fun...
I know that Jerry has had some really great years in retirement. He enjoyed fishing, his children, and his grandchildren. I know that there has to be a boat and a reel where Jerry is now.
It is with sorrow at his passing on 2/2/2011. But I will remember Jerry with great fondness...
I have know Jerry since the 7th grade and we were next door neighbors when we lived in Cedar Park, Tx. We had great times togrether at the lake and at his folks place, hunting, in Dripping Springs. I will surely miss you Jerry as will all your other friends and high school class mates. R I P.
I too have known Jerry since the 7th grade and also went to Church with him at Rosedale Baptist where Gail also attended. I remember Jerry very fondly and kindly. My heart goes out to Gail and the rest of his family.
God's blessings and peace to Jerry's family during this time and may they rejoice in all the wonderful memories they experinced.
