Sorry to hear the passing of Jerry. Our sympathy goes out to Jerry’s family. I have known Jerry from almost day one, as he lived with his folks on a farm that was adjacent to our farm southwest of Vulcan. As kids, we played together now and again and attended the Alston school together. I recall climbing up on some poplar trees next to their farm. When Jerry and his folks moved into Vulcan, he had several bantam chickens at his home. Jerry loved his animals being farm raised. Jerry has left me with lots of memories!
