We were fortunate to live across the road to Jerry & Charlene. They both were certainly soul mates and worked together in their yard and vegetable garden as one. However the mowing was always Jerrys.
It's such a great sad loss for all of us that Jerry has gone to be with his Lord.
This very nice loved man will be missed.

Jerry and Charlene were fixtures when I served as youth minister in Mountain Home several years back. My wife and I were talking about them this afternoon and I said that they were like an old-time comedy team. THEY WERE HILARIOUS to be around and such wonderful people.
Charlene and family, we want you to know how sorry we are to hear of this tragic loss. As usual, not enough has ever been said by us about how we feel about the both of you and how much you both have meant to us over these years.
May God bless you all and give you peach that only He can give but, at the same time, may there also be some comfort from all of the things said and spoken that speaks of not only Jerry but of the whole Maleare family. Indeed, a life well-lived.
