We at Commercial Builders were deeply saddened to hear about your loss. We worked with Jerry for years and years on construction projects. He was one of the finest and most knowledgeable salesmen we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Beyond that though he was such a kind and caring person who you always wanted to be around. He will be sorely missed. Thoughts and prayers go out to all his family and friends.

I met Jerry a couple of years ago on a game I play on my phone. What are the odds. In those 2 years and change, I learned a lot about the man. He often wrote about his love for his family first and foremost. He also loved his garden, fishing and playing a silly golf game on his I pad. I will miss chatting with Jerry he became my friend. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. I picture Jerry at fish camp right now, reeling in a trophy Rainbow
