His family, friends and co-workers will miss him dearly.

I have good memories of Jerry. He was always kind and showed me respect. I had some wonderful conversations with him in the ally, next to the shack.

I will miss fuzzy as I always called him. He always said good morning Cathy. How are you today. I left the pole 3 yes ago. What I miss most is fuzzy saying that to every morning that always made my day. My thoughts are with his family

Due to recent surgery I cannot attend services, nor can my daughter, Ashley McClure Subler ,who worked for Fuzzy for 3 years, because she lives in Ohio now. She says he was the best boss she ever had. Mentions on Facebook today from both of us . he definitely leaves a.void. we are better people because he touched our lives. May the Lord be with his family.

We are so sad that Jerry is gone. He was always so friendly. We just ran into him at the north pole and he was happy as always. We are glad to have known him and that our children knew him. Such an awesome spirit. Happy trails Jerry, we will miss you and think of you when we visit the pole next year. Your friends the Sweats, Aaron, Rosemary, Ben and Luke.
