The grieving Wisconsin Family sent flowers

“Jerry: Bigger than Life. To his family, friends and extended family. Jerry is the best the south has to offer, infectious, cajoling, smiling, telling non-stop stories. He was uncompromisingly bewildering. Never fear, we lost Jerry, but now he bends St. Peter’s ear.”

Richard Woltjer wrote a sympathy message

“Jerry: bigger than life. Never compromised to keep everyone happy-but happy, by and large, they were, due to his authentic smile, graciousness, outrageous southern hospitality, and nearly ever room he visited filled with infectious camaraderie, friends for decades, and one colorful story after another. If you knew Jerry, you knew the south’s best, the friends and extended family who make it great. It’s hard to believe Jerry’s laugh is gone forever, now bending St. Peter’ ear. Pamela and Rich”
