Nancy,
So sorry to learn of Jerry's passing. I always looked up to Jerry and I learned a lot from him. My years on the Falcon Fire Dept. with Jerry as Chief were such a great experience. What great times - what great memories.

I feel lucky to have known Grandad for 21 years. He loved his family and he will be missed. Now, he will be driving Fords, drinking Coke and watching his beloved Broncos from the best seat in the house.
