Missing you dad wish we could got t know each other more dad
I miss you Dad I really wish that you and I would have been closer
Uncle Jerry was one of a kind. I loved his stories an his laugh an his blue eyes. He loved eating at Steak an shake an ponderosa. Steve an Lorraine took great care of him. Even though he wasn’t my true uncle that’s what I called him an .Rest in peace uncle Jerry.
Uncle Jerry always had a joke and laughed at himself all the time. Going to miss that and miss the bowling league. Always full of life!!
Rest In Peace Uncle Jerry. I was on a bowling team with him about 15 years ago and he was always so happy. He would laugh all the time. Every single time we dropped him off at his house after bowling he would yell ‘bye bye TV guide’. He wasn’t my blood uncle but that didn’t matter to my family. He was our Uncle Jerry.
Thanks from Jerry jr
My Dad no matter what. Just so many mixed emotions. RIP Dad!!!

Hello to all of your family n friends.. Jerry, your daughter Mary Elizabeth Daniel is my best friend. I never had the pleasure of meeting you , however after reading some of the comments I feel like I know whete Mary got her joker personality. She loves to laugh n make others feel better. When her mama passed away it was so very hard for her.. However she is always there for me n others. My prayer was for you n she to see each other before you passed away. Mary’s number one quality is her love of Jesus n her ability to forgive everyone. I pray you had such a relationship with our Lord n Savior Jesus Christ n that one day you will see your beautiful daughter, Mary n rest of your family again.. I love you so dearly Mary. God’s Blessings as you visit family n are blessed to be there as your father is laid to rest..
Uncle Jerry was one of kind. He may have been rotten at times, but his sense of humor was incredible. He always had a smile on his face and loved to make others laugh. He had many stories that were always interesting to listen to and a joke to follow up with. You will be missed! RIP Uncle Jerry.
I’m very sorry for your loss. The Bible can offer much comfort at this, difficult time. John5:28, 29 says, “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.” For more information please go to http://www.JW.org.
