I am sorry to hear that another fellow Jeffersonite (did I say that right?) has passed.  I remember Jerry as a fun guy with a smile on his face.  It sounds like he will be very missed by his family.  How sad that after battling cancer, it was a fall that ended his life.  My condolences to his family.

This is so sad!  We also went all through grade school together.  At the 50th reunion, he and I sat with our old grade school pictures, and he could name almost every one of the students in every grade.  Such a nice guy!
