Happy Fathers Day Dad. It was so strange not to pick up the phone today to call and wish you a Happy Fathers Day. I think of you often, remembering all the little things that you forget but brings a smile to my face as I remember. I have pictures of you holding me when I was a baby, you have always taken such good care of your family. I cry for me and rejoice that you are in a better place and not alone, give Mom a big hug for me and I will keep hugging Dixie for you.
Love you so much,
Sue

Jerry, was always the Star at our Poker Games at work In the “old days” we didn’t work a lot, But we always led the pack. Jerry was a big reason for that. Always a true friend.
Chris and I always talk about our trips to Reno and dinners at the Steak House, with you and Dixie. I’m sorry we didn’t make one more time. But I’ll see you there in the future, and I’m buying.
You are missed already
Jerry – Partner in business and friend. You were a kind and thoughtful man, always with a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face. You had the best Anniversary Day/New Years Eve – always a good party. We had lots of laughs and fun on the Reno Laughlin trips – and those great dinners at the Steak House. We will meet someday – all of us, painfree and reminisce those good ol’ days.
Dixie, take care, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones. Love, Bob, Nievse, Robb, & Mike
Jerry,
I will always remember you for your wit, sense of humor and big heart. Always there if someone needed help, advise or guidance and the endless teasing. You will be truly missed.
Dixie: My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Take care my friend. Peace be with you and yours.
Love
Frances Brown
Sue, I’m sorry for your loss, but know that Jerry is free from all the pain he had endured during the last few years. I know also that he will be watching and guiding you as you continue on your life’s journey. My sympathies and prayers are with you and your family. In time, wonderful memories and joy will replace the feeling of loss and put a smile on your face. I’m sorry I can’t be there in person for the memorial, but I am always with you no matter where you are. Love and blessings, Karen

Hi Dad,
I just wanted to tell you how honored I was to be your daughter. You taught me unconditional love and to always work hard. We lost Mom too young but you should us that we had to go on. You were lucky enough to find love again and share it with your children. What you have left us with is a beautiful woman that I am honored to call Mom and a big brother and his wonderful family. You have done so much to make sure you children are cared for. For that I can’t thank you enough. I will love you forever.
Daddies little girl.

Jerry was the strongest, most honest, straightforward man in addition to my own father that I have ever known. He was quick to laugh and took his time to chastise. My favorite quote of his is “What high school did you girls go to, Tigard?” which was said as a result of a “blonde moment” by either Sue or myself.
He raised his children to have respect for others and to love unconditionally, and he will be deeply and sorely missed. I am honored to have known Jerry.
My love and sympathy – beyond words – goes out to his entire family.
Our prayers are with the family. We love you Sue, and will hold you in our hearts until we see you again.
