My condolences to the family. Jerry will be greatly missed. I knew Jerry as a kid growing up on Fries Avenue who would have thought we would be family later on in life. I will miss texting and talking to you on the phone. This just doesn't seem real yet. You always played rough and tough, but in reality you was a big softie. I remember when you met Mary you was like a teenager in love . You would hang on that phone for hours talking to her
I love you Uncle Jerry and my heart is a little more broken without you in it. My heart goes out to Mary and the family. Love you all wish I could be there so I could hug you all. With much love and sympathy.

He was the best grandpa that I could ever ask for and I love him. I have had a lot of memories with him and heard a lot of  good memories about my grandpa . My grandpa has teached me and I have learned a lot of things from him that will help me in life.

I still kind of can’t believe you’re actually gone, it’s been hard for me to process all my thoughts since it’s happened. I’m going to miss you forever, you spoiled me always. I’ll never forget how you let me take orange creamsicles out of your special freezer in the garage. Or how you always watched WWE or some western, and that was all you watched. You loved “wrastling”, tequila, and Coca Cola. I’ll miss you calling me Mary-Katie LuLu, no one ever called me that besides you and it doesn’t feel right that I’ll never hear it again. A part of me doesn’t feel like this is fair, you were supposed to be at my wedding, you were supposed to meet my kids. I just hope that wherever you are, you know that you meant absolutely everything to me. I even named my hamster after you when I was little. I may never hear you call me Mary-Katie LuLu again, but I’ll always be that girl and I can’t imagine a day where I don’t think about you. The man who always reminded me that he drove straight from California to Louisiana to be there when I was born. I love you, I miss you.

i miss you grandpa. thank you for always being someone who made me laugh and always believed in me. you always tried to act like a tough guy (which you are) but inside you were always just a big teddy bear who cared so much for me and all your family. i’m gonna miss going over to ur house and coming in ur room just to bug you, im gonna miss riding on the back of ur scooter, im gonna miss laughing at you, and with you, and im gonna miss you always making me give u hugs. i’m gonna miss playing those card games w you and you always putting in a quarter for me. you were someone who could do anything and had so many skills. i can’t imagine not seeing you when i come home. i love you so much grandpa. thank you for being the best grandpa i could ever ask for

My father N law Jerry,  first off you’ll always be in my heart, and the memories we ve had over the years will never be forgotten,  you accepted me like a son as soon as I can remember, when I first met you I was pretty scared of you, but not long after I realized you’re true personality a big Teddy bear.  I can remember with my first car you helping me change the transmission & flywheel in it & not long after that, I realized it was the first of many jobs we would be on together. Jerry you taught me so much over the years. I’ll miss hanging with you watching boxing, calling you for advice, you advising me that I can do things i that I never thought I could, playing acey deucey at your house and mine listening to oldies but goodies laughing the times away. I’m thankful for the impact you had on my life & I love you Jerry always. The way you were with my kids can not be replaced & will live on in they’re  hearts forever. I’ll miss you, but I hope you’re playing acey deucey right now with all of your family.  RIP Jerry till we meet again.

Dear Daddy

Today is 1 week without you here. It’s been a hard one. Miss you like crazy. I’m going to miss so much about you. Your smile, your laugh, laughing at you , calling when i need help with something it’s going to be hard. Thank you for being my Dad! Thank you for raising me to be the mom and wife I am today. Thank you for not treating me like i was just a girl and couldn’t do things. Thank you for teaching me to change brakes, fix plumbing, redo a whole bathroom (as much as Shy and I hated it), rewire things ( when we could have just bought a new one), and the art of Jerry rigging things. Thank you for getting in a car and driving all the way to Louisiana to see your first grandchild born. Thank you for being the best grandpa my kids could ask for. I love you and it’s going to be difficult without you. But you taught us to be strong and we will be. 

Love you Daddy 
Breanna Shary

You were not just my father you were my guiding light, my protector, my best friend, my safe haven, and one of the most important people in my life. Although your I love yous where given out sparingly you showed me everyday through actions that your love for me was grander than your words could say. Rest in peace, dad. You were and will always be my hero and the best man I will ever know. I will always be your babygirl and I will miss you more than words can express, but everything you’ve ever taught me will continue to shape my life for years to come. You will forever be in my heart. Love your babygirl Shy
