I cut Jerry’s hair for many years. So, there are a lot of memories. But, the one that stands out, is when the electricity went out in the salon. Jerry had an appointment. I said, “Well, I could cut your hair in the parking lot!” Of course, Jerry said, “Let’s do it!”. Karen came around the corner of the building. And saw us sitting in the parking lot cutting his hair. She said to herself, “What’s Jerry talked Ida into now?!?!” Sorry for your loss. Love to the family. Ida Temple
All our love goes to Karen & the family. We sure shared some good times. From taking disco lessons together to vacationing in FL. Take care, we love you guys & will miss Jerry. Carol & Jim Pruett
We are both saddened to learn of Jerry’s death. We both have great memories of our time together at GM. Later that pleasure was continued with the friendship of his son, Jeff. We send our condolences to the family. John and Pam Herron.
To all of Jerry’s family, it’s sad to see him go and we will miss him . Won’t forget how Jerry, Ronnie, Jean, Fred, me and Peggy all played together as kids. Always had so much fun. Will never forget how he loved to tease someone. I think he would rather tease than eat. Have missed seeing him these last years. God bless you Jerry. Karen, Jeff, you two always have a place to stay if you ever come to Florida. Ginger Eib
To the Stansbury family, my heartfelt condolences for your loss. Please find comfort in the knowledge that God promises to put an end to all the things that have plagued mankind for centuries including pain, suffering and death (Revelation 21:1-5). May these promises from God give you comfort now and real hope for the future. My deepest sympathy.
Loved the video…thank you
I’ll always remember Jerry smiling and laughing. Seems he was like this every time I saw him. Aunt Dean was always so good to us, more like a grandma than an aunt. Love this whole family! So sorry I could not attend today because of illness. Deborah Stansbury Garvey
I will always remember Jerry riding up on his motorcycle to visit Mom and Dad – Sandy and Blacky – and how he and Dad would always talk about how handsome they were!
Karen, Judy & I didn’t hear of Jerry’s passing until the 13th and regret missing the services. We send our belated condolences, thoughts and prayers. – Arlen & Judy Armstrong
