Dear Elaine and family….
We are so very sad to hear the news of Jerry’s passing. What a wonderful, vibrant, caring man he was. Our lives are so much richer for having known him — and having you both touch our lives.
May he rest in peace, and may your memories give you comfort. There is another angel in heaven – and he’s ordering up a glass of “Cooks” to toast his loved ones.
Hugs and love to you-
Cindy, Rich, Josh, Dustin, and Don (Cindy’s Dad)

Our dearest Elaine,
Positive thoughts & prayers for you & your family. Jerry lived a full quality of life with you on his side, all the way. We will always remember Jerry’s strong prescence, his booming voice, our life conversations with him both in San Diego and Georgia, our day outing to Atlanta’s aquarium, numerous dinner night out, Holiday gatherings, his spontaneous visits to our home for a fun chitchat and joining us at Adrienne’s fencing tournaments. We will remember his life as a celebration. Please know that we’re always here for you. If there’s anything you need, let us know. God bless you and your family.
~Lots of hugs & kisses, Michelle, Russell, Adrienne

So sorry for your lost. Jerry was an amazing person. I remember the Frist time I met him at Great Clips he made me laugh. Always couldn’t wait until he came in again. I can honestly tell you he loves his family very much. He praised you one and all. He will be greatly missed. But what a great angle he will be now with that smile and laugh. Praying for you all.
Much love,
Lynn Allred

I am truly sorry for your loss. God gives us a sure hope for the future. He will wipe out all sicknes, pain and death for good. We then will have the chance to welcome back our lost loved ones again, right here on earth, under Gods loving arrangement. As we wait on God, may the many memories strengthen the family in the days ahead.-Revelation 21:4, Acts 24:15, Isaiah 25:8.
Dearest Elaine,
I am so sorry to hear of Jerry’s passing. He will be truly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. I will always remember the generous and kind gentleman that he was. His larger than life persona can never be duplicated. I will toast his life with a glass of “Cooks” champagne today.

Dear Elaine,
We’re so sorry to hear of Jerry’s passing. He had a way of always making you laugh or smile when you were with him. He was a wonderful, funny, charming and engaging man. We have such fond memories of Jerry, including his bringing chilled champagne to parties in Scripps Ranch and Christmas dinners at Donovan’s. We will miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. If you come back to San Diego to visit, we’d love to see you.
Warmest regards, Robby and Allen
I hope your loving memories of a life well lived bring you comfort during this difficult time.
