A very close friend and "family" member went Home last night (Friday) at about 10:30. Today, the 17th, is his birthday. Although expected as much as could be, it was not expected so soon. It appears he went in his sleep, and simply quit breathing. That part was a blessing. He was riddled with maladies such as heart/lung disease, total kidney failure, a rare form of cancer, etc. He had been beating the odds for quite a while, and was a real fighter.
Jerry had an extraordinary talent for, and love of music. He could play any instrument from the minute he picked it up, or sat at it. He created his own musical scores on his computer. He loved cars - sporty ones, fast ones, classic cars, unique cars, all kinds of cars. He could tell you anything about them.
He will be missed greatly. He was like my brother.
Rest in Peace, Jerry. May God give you the rest you so much desired. Use your talents to make beautiful music for the Lord.

I sure do miss him. Hard to believe he's gone. But he was so sick..he's at rest now. I keep reminding myself of that.
Dale,
After receiving Shelley's pics of the curio cabinet restoration, I did some "crusing" and found your comment re Sparky! You said it very eloquently!
I know Jerry, and especially Shelley, were so grateful that you were there during those last difficult months...not just for the assistance you were able to lend...but for the friendship and love you showed.
Thanks from one who cared deeply for them both!
God Bless!
