Deborah Melton wrote a sympathy message

“I just wanted to say how deeply saddened I was to hear about Jerry passing. I have so many fond memories of when you lived at the Beach and we all went out to eat or just hung out, Jerry, Toni, Craig and I. When we got together we always had a good time. If I needed help with anything Jerry was always there. He will be greatly missed. I am feeling your pain and sorrow at this difficult time. You have my sincere sympathy. Debbie Melton”
