Jerry was my father in law. I want to state that up front to add full disclosure to what I am about to say. I knew Jerry for over 30 years and he was my friend from day one until last night when he left us. He was a very religious man and he walked the walk not just talked the talk. When he was healthy he had a tent ministry and supported missionaries in Bulgaria even going there twice to live with the missionaries in the field. He also helped found two different churchs in Paulding County. He was an heating & air contractor and countless cold nights and scorching days even when he was sick he left the comfort of his own home to repair the heat/air of the elderly and the needy not charging one dime and paying for the parts himself. He could not rest knowing someone was suffering and he could do something about it. That was just him. There are a life time of memories I could pull from but I am not articulate enough to express even a small amount of them here nor will space allow. I just felt compelled to say something to let other people know there are still good people in the world and sadly we just lost a very good man. My heart is broke but I still feel him with me and I know love never dies.
