Melvin & I went to school with Jerry & in the same grade for 12 years. Of all the kids that went to High Island school Jerry was so sweet & special & has a place in my heart. He took up for me once when some kids were teasing me. I have loved him ever since. As George Bland said he would give you the shirt off his back & anything that you might need if he could do it. I will miss him if I ever get to go back to High Island which doesn't seem possible since I now live in Minnesota. Condolences to the family, I know he will be missed...
