Jerry was a great guy. Always so nice and respectful. I'll miss seeing him at the golf course. Rest in peace, my friend. You'll be missed.

Jerry was one of the best. My best friend in high school a great husband, father, grandfather, brother and lover of life. He was kind and considerate of others. He loved his family and his farm in Terre Haute. I was thankful that after many years of separation, through time and distance, our friendship was rekindled through Rox Golf. The Myers team needed a fourth player and we immediately thought of Jerry. For several years thereafter he was a part of our team. He was a very accomplished golfer. During the final months of his life we talked often and he never gave up. He fought to the end! I'm so thankful we shared those moments. I'm thankful that I could count him as my friend and than he gave his life to Jesus! Good by for now my friend!

Jerry, Jerome, my friend. My condolences to your family and friends. We shared good times growing up, the joy, the jokes, the laughter (sometimes not appreciated by teachers in grade school classes). You came to "Naptown" to be a groomsman in my wedding, thank you. Although my path took me to other places for many years, I have great memories of our friendship. I'm going to keep those and trust that we will meet again some day.
