This was my Grandpa and he was a great man and I loved him so much and I still do. He was my best friend. I was 5 when he died and I never really got to know him really well. But I hear great stories about him. I'm so happy he's able to be united with his mother again.

I worked with Jerry several years ago. He was a quiet and gentle co-worker and I remember his friendly smile and laugh! My condolences to the family! You are in my thoughts and prayers!

I was honored to work with Jerry more than 10 years ago at Colorado Springs Utilities. He was so patient and fun to work with, a real teacher. I can still remember him rumbling early in the morning with his VW bus after helping to deliver papers- just one of his many "jobs". He was admired at work for his gentle manner and strong (professional) work ethic but most of all for his dedication to family. Jerry will be missed by many.

Sweet, loving and gentle - I loved to watch him with his granddaughter. You could tell that there was a very special bond there.
