I think the Lord must be disassembling our class of 65’ down here and reassembling It up there in Heaven 🙏 I know it was a good reunion for Carol and Jerry . RIP good friends . 😔

Extremely sad news. Now, missing Carol Ann has become TWICE as hard. Jerry was the anchor of our O-line and the anchor of our class. The President is dead; long live his name.

So sad to hear this news. I am so thankful that I was able to have lunch and visit Jerry only a few weeks ago. Clyde and I had some very fond memories of trips with Jerry and Carol Ann. Also, memories of visiting with them at their home. Jerry was always such a lovely, sweet man. Fond memories of our times with he and Maggie at Texas Tech such a long time ago. Oh those Saturday games we used to play! Well I know he is at peace now and that makes my heart happy for him. Condolences to the family. He wil be missed.

Such sad news for us here on earth. There is a reunion taken place that we all want to go to. Ted passed away six years to the day before Jerry. So I know he's happy because he's meeting his old classmates again. What a Happy reunion day.! I love all the friends I have made through Teddy Joe.

Jerry was such a nice guy. I think that’s what everyone will remember about Jerry. He always had a big smile and made you feel like a true friend. I don’t think he disliked anyone. You just wanted to be around him—that’s quite a nice thing to be remembered for! He will truly be missed! My thoughts and prayers are with his family and close friends at this time!

Jerry will be missed. He was a friend from Wickett elementary school. My deepest sympathies and prayers for the family. I know that reunion is still going on with Carol Ann.

What great memories I have of Jerry, from the bowling alley days when our parents were in leagues together, which Carol Ann's mom and dad ran the bowling alley during those days, to the fun days we had in school, gave them a little dog named Buttons, thought Jerry was going to bring her back, she ended up being his bud. So glad for our web site so we can share our stories, knowing that we All care for each other. Love You ALL
