Julie, I am so sad to learn of Gerry’s passing upon my return to Pinewood. We will miss seeing Gerry around the neighborhood on his buggy. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Mike Lee & Eileen Chapman,
We are just now seeing Gerry’s passing.
Please know we are lifting your families in our prayers and good thought from across the miles. Much love to our ‘extended’ Lee Family from way back when…
Julie,
We are so saddened to learn of Gerry’s passing. He was such a joy as a neighbor and fellow dog lover. You are in our prayers in this difficult time, and even though we are no longer right down the street, we are just a phone call away. God bless you-
I was sorry to hear that Jerry had left this world but I am happy that he is in a better place. We played Bogle and Words with Friends online for years. He was always making higher scores. He had such a great mind. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Julie
May you find peace in his moving to be in God’s arms. I had not seen Gerry since we moved and was surprised by his passing on.
We love you. God bless. We are here for you.
Julie,
We are so sorry for your loss. You’ve lost a husband and I have lost a great friend. I have some great memories of Gerry and I going to Lamar games and Astros games. The trip we took to Boston to see Fenway Park. We spent many hours talking sports and solving the world’s problems. Truly a great friend and I’m going to miss him dearly !
Love you, Julie!
Randy and Sherlyn

Awww, sweet Gerry!! What a wonderful friend! He introduced me to my husband and my great friend, Julie! I looked to him for advice on all things ‘nature-related’-especially bugs and birds! I know I will see him again because I know he is walking in the Garden with Jesus today, what a joy for him-and getting to see all his fur babies together waiting for him—but I’m sure gonna miss him! My deepest sympathy and condolences to you, Julie-what a devoted partner! We will keep you in our prayers and know that we are here for you-we love you dearly!
Julie,
We are so sorry to hear about Gerry. I will always remember seeing y’all driving around the neighborhood with your furry “kids” on the ATV. I also enjoyed all Gerry’s comments and information he posted on Facebook. He will be missed by so many. Prayers for you and his family. Love you!
Julie, Missing our husbands so much is the price we pay for loving them so much. We are both lucky to have had the best husbands in the world. We have to remember the wonderful lives they provided for us. I am thinking of you, my old secret pal. Love, Judy
I want to offer you and your family my deepest condolences. May your loved one find peace, and may your happy memories together bring you comfort.
Julie,
I am hoping for comfort and beautiful memories for you in the coming weeks and months. You two remain in my mind as such a sweet and wise pair.
Wishing you peace and
gentle thoughts.
Love,
Sharon Cozad
Julie, we are so sorry for your loss. May God give you comfort in this difficult time.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Always, Elizabeth Feagin Bryant & family

Julie so sorry for your loss. Jerry was so sweet. We miss you in church.. Love to you, Janye and Paul
You Were a Great Friend who will be Missed By Many..
Rest In Paradise Our Friend..
No words for what I am feeling this morning. Gerry and I were “family” friends, our Mom’s were friends forever. We have communicated thru Facebook for some time. Both of us expounding on something we saw on one of the same sites we belonged to. Including some deprecating comments on our “youth” and why we didnt end up in jail. He will be missed.
Bill and I have many treasured memories of Gerry. He was such an animal lover, we enjoyed his many pictures of birds that he posted. Julie, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Our deepest sympathy, Bill and Nancy Zeller
Julie,
Jerry will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He was kind, funny, generous, loving, caring, sharing, and one of the best person’s I know. I loved his great memories of Beaumont and the North End that he shared on Facebook. Love and hugs to you and all the furry “children”.
Rest in peace my friend.
