Jerry and I were good friends, shared many good times. We rode the bus together and lived in same area. He got me a job working for his uncle Deumont in his tobacco fields in summer and fall. He had a great love for his Chevy, and I remember the day he put a 409 engine in it, and test drove it up 311 highway, full throttle!!! Jerry was a very friendly person, loved the ladies, and his friends. It is sad to learn he has passed, I tried to find him many times in past years but was unable. My prayers go out to his family at this difficult time. Fly high now Eagle, God be with you.

Jerry is the name I have used for years as the answer to the security question "best childhood friend".  He lived four houses up old 311 from me.  Jerry was friendly and was a tough guy to boot.  He was outside linebacker at Glenn 9th grade and Coach Lancaster's comments to the JV coaches at East was "this guy will hit as hard as anyone".  I have thought of him often over the years because he was someone you could depend on and had a keen mind.  He also could be funny in a bad boy kind of way.  I'm sure he turned into a man's man and was adept at whatever he did.  It's time for Vince Gill to sing "Go Rest High Upon the Mountain".  It's a pertinent lament to Jerry.
