Jerry and I are cousins. His dad Bob, a WWII veteran, was my mom's brother. As little kids, Jerry and I used to hang out, play and fish together mostly at his house on the big island near the Platte River. We had a lot of fun and Jerry was always joking around. I remember Jerry having his appendix removed on an emergency basis during this time and I always thought that might happen to me, however, I still have my appendix. Jerry's mom, Aunt Lorna, came by our house in Fremont when I was about 5 years old and playing outside. It was a Sunday morning so she asked why I wasn't at church. I said we don't go to church. She went into our house and came out a short time later. She said mom had given her permission to take me and my sister, Peggy, to church. We went to First Christian Church and remained members there through high school.

I was not aware the Jerry served in the Navy. Thank you Jerry for your service to the country that we both love and honor!!! Thank you Georgia for honoring Jerry on this website!!

Based on the very brief biography here, I'll bet Jerry is a wonderful husband, loving father and trusted friend of everyone who gets to know him. 

May God continue to bless Jerry and his family!!
