Jerry was a good man. He was well-informed, involved in his community, fair-minded and a lover of nature -- he built bluebird houses. He was friendly, smart and extremely well-read. I am saddened by his death. It was an honor to know him.

So very sorry to learn about Jerry's passing. He and I went to school together and joined the Air Force together in 1958. Since my career took me away from Arkansas for an extended period of time I unfortunately haven't seen Jerry in years, but always considered him a very good friend. My sincere condolences to the family.

As I think back to the first time I met Jerry. It was in my home, the home I shared with his Son Keith who passed in 2000. I always felt loved by Jerry and wish that my children and I had met him and his dear wife Frankie years earlier. Jerry was one of the dearest, sweetest, kindest men I know and will truly be missed by so many people. Frankie if there is anything I can do please don't hesitate to give me a call. I love you all, Tammy
