Thank you Jerry for 20 years of friendship. I enjoyed coming into the shop and yelling out HEY OLD GUY! and getting the response WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT NOW! followed by 15 minutes of calling each other names I can't repeat. Thank you for your help, for giving a damn and best of all for being you! Love you OLD GUY! I'll miss you!
To one of my oldest and best friends, best part of you was meeting Stacy and Laura when they came into your life.
We had a lot of fun and memories, hope the Good Lord is as forgiving as we're going to need.

Thanks to Jerry he imparted some vital automotive knowledge. This helped me. He knew even the cars of the 2010's so well. Wonderful how he kept working and running a business into an older age.
Requiat ad pacem.

In memory of a very good friend to our family. Jerry was caring, funny, and a true blue kind of man. He taught me a lot about life when I was young. We will cherish our fond memories of him. I hope he finds my dad in heaven and says hello!
With love and sympathy,

He went out of his way to teach me how to win drag racing. Lessons that I have carried with me all my life. He drove "Ole' Brownie" (63' Plymouth in the picture) and a number of "B Gassers" in his drag racing days.
His St. Louis buddies (Ron and Phil), always made time to visit him and go fishing.

Jerry and Laura walleye fishing off Vermilion. Jerry caught that 12 pound walleye. He said that the fish was "kicking his ass" as he reeled him in.
