Our deepest sympathies to the whole family. Life has taken us all a long way from the sheltered life in Star Lake and Irish Hill where we spent our youth. Jerry, you were the coolest big boy cousin in the world. Thankfully, you never lost your kind, patient, gentle spirit, your quiet manner. You were the one who taught me how to safely ride a big boy bike, no easy feat for a little girl determined to learn. It was the only bike we had at the time and being left out simply wasn't an option. While Carol Anne was always like my big sister and Mike, is my favorite other brother, you were the resident hero when we were kids, Jerry. Loved you then. Love you and miss you now. Rest in peace, dear Jerry.

47 years of dedicated . . . I remember my first service award ceremony where Jerry received his 40 years service award. I was totally amazed, but then I met him and realized what a jewel he truly was. His kind smile and a wave from a distance, I called him my friend. Rest in Peace my friend. You will be truly missed.

Jerry Bemus you taught and assisted me much over so, so many years. You are dear to my heart and the same to so many others. Your passing has left a hole here at Cameron no one will ever be able to fill. Your endless knowledge, laugh and your quick wit on all things Orbit Ball Valve made you one of a kind. I will miss you dear man and I pray your family finds peace in this time of great loss.
