I am so saddened by the news of Jerry's passing. When we were stationed in Germany, the BOQ residents became our family. Jerry was an integral member of that family. Sadly, many of us lost touch after we returned to the US. Jerry was one of those, but he was never far from our thoughts, especially when those of us who did stay in touch were together and rehashing all the good times we had at Patch Barracks. I am happy to see how well he did after Patch and how rich and full his life was. I wish I had known of his illness if for no other reason than to have sent him encouragement as he battled the dreaded cancer.
To Jerry’s family at this difficult time, may you find comfort in knowing that others share in your sorrow.
Jerry, thank you for your service to our country and for your friendship. It was a privilege knowing you. Rest in Peace my friend.
