Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Jerry and I were co-workers at the Kansas Adjutant General’s Office in Topeka in the 1950s and continued a friendship and connection through the Kansas National Guard for many years. He was a hard worker, was well liked and had many friends. I am saddened at his passing and offer my sincere condolences to his family members.
With Deepest Sympathy for You and Your Family.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. Sympathy to you and your Family.
I was so glad to have met Jerry at our Clare family reunions. He will be sorely missed.
John and Family, Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless you!
Rest Gerald, until you hear at dawn, the low, clear reveille of God. Thank you for your service to this nation. U.S. Army and Kansas National Guard.
