Condolence message I remember Jerry playing his guitar at the Carmi Church of God when I was a teen and always liked Jerry and a few years later I worked with him at Dobner's Standard Station that was just off I-64 at Grayville. I enjoyed my time working with him and still remember many of the things he taught me there. Jerry will be missed here but the Angels in Heaven are rejoicing in the new man walking around Heaven.

Condolence message I remember Jerry from the days of 1st Assembly of New Harmony and then the Church of God of Carmi. He was always one to smile and give a warm greeting. His heart was always to encourage others Let the seeds that he has sown continue to produce fruit for the Father's kindgom throughout eternity. Kent Daniel-Emma Rose Daniel
