I am sorry to hear about Jerry's death. I am pleased that he is now in the "New Jerusalem" in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ!
We have talked on the radio for about ten years nearly every Tues and Thurs on the US Navy Radiomen's Assoc net (amateur radio).
May the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means.
Sincerely, in His name,
John E Saari (age73)

We will miss you Grandpa. One poem that describes how everyone remembers you by ; "As you made your journey through life in search of truth and meaning you left your mark on your fellow man. The path you chose was wise. The steps you took were gentle. The words you spoke wer uplifting. The ear you always gave was open. The vision you possesed was true. The hand you offered was comforting. Most important of all THE LIVES YOU TOUCHED HAVE ALL BEEN ENRICHED"##imported-begin##Jeffrey, Ashley, & Travis##imported-end##
Ken, Sally, Peggy & Terry- I am so sorry about your dad. I can't even imagine losing both parents so close together. My family and I had the privilege of getting to see Uncle Gerald quite often while we were out and about. He always had a hug for me and life savers for the kids. You were truly blessed with wonderful parents. They will be missed. Although I am glad for Uncle Gerald that he is now with his Heavenly Father and his loving wife, I am very sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.##imported-begin##Kara Ottman##imported-end##
