“I am sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. Our prayers are with the family and friends for comfort and peace at this time. Jerry was a good friend during my time I worked at AFLBS. We had many visits in his office as he tried to explain some of the Old Testament passages that I struggled with. He will be greatly missed by many. Only negative was he was a Packer fan but he never rubbed in the Packers Super Bowl victories vs the Vikings Super Bowl losses. Class guy. Dean Nelson”
