My son, Hamp, and I were saddened to read of Jerry's recent passing. Not only was he an excellent barber, but he was a compassionate, caring man. Very appropriate that the Little Rock Compassion Center is the designated choice for his memorials. Jerry's family is in our thoughts and prayers.
We were so sorry to hear of Jerry's death. He was a great Barber and Friend. When Carl needed a haircut, we always felt as if we were visiting a friend. He and Marie always made everyone feel welcome. They were great Christians and did not fail to let that be known. We will miss him and pray that God will give his family Peace and Comfort today and in the days to come.
Love and prayers,
Carl and Mary
It was a great blessing to have worked with Jerry and to know him for many years. Our prayers are with you, Kim, and the family. We know that Jerry will be greatly missed, but we know he is happy being with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We will get to see him one day and rejoice with him. With love, the Downs
I was going to shop when Jerry came to it. He was a very good barber and a very good Christian man! Will miss him at the shop!
So sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. Jerry was always smiling and always in good spirits. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers for the family.
Jerry was a good barber. He was a better man.
I had the privilege of knowing Jerry for over 25 years and always enjoyed spending time with him.
The world will be a little sadder place with out Jerry in it.
I will miss him.

Rest in Peace, Jerry. You were a kind and compassionate person .
Going to miss you standing there behind chair #1 at the shop .
Godspeed, my friend ...........

I will truly miss you dear brother. Will always
It was with great sadness that I read the obituary of the passing of Jerry. I have enjoyed knowing Jerry for many years and joking with him and hearing him wittness for Jesus Christ. May he now rest in peace. He and his family will be in my prayers.

We have been going to Jerry’s Shop for over 20 years! Jerry is always friendly and gave his time and energy freely to worthy causes. He had an amazing faith and positive outlook on life that always left me feeling re-energized. Jerry will be missed by many people including our family. I know he is with our Lord enjoying eternity now.
