Jerbear passed away

I got a kick out of the name he gave to the turkeys that would come by his place looking for hand-outs:  He called them "Democrats".

Folks...check out the raffle that Wazukie has put together to help Jerry's family with the expenses.

    Now that's funny! I'm sorry I never got a chance to meet him, he sounds like a great person. RIP my hunting brother and god bless your family.

Prayers for Cathy, family, and friends ... truly sad day indeed.

[Wazukie]

I just got back from visiting with Cathie, it was a very good visit reminiscing over who Jerry was and the lives that he impacted.  It's has already been said and known by many of you here, that Jerry knew no stranger, everyone was welcome in his home.  I got her logged into this site so she could read the many encouraging words that have been posted here.

Many of you have asked me about a service for Jerry.  As per his wishes, there will be a service in April of 2014(This coming spring)  What a perfect time to come together and honor such a man.  Do any of you know what happens in the Spring?  Turkey Hunting!  But even greater than that, Spring is reminiscent of "new life", and that is what Jerry is experiencing today as we remember him.

As time grows closer to April and plans begin to come together.  I will be posting all the details for anyone who would like to be there.

Cathie sends her love and gratitude to each of you.

Sad to hear. Never met him personally but sounds like he was very awesome person to have known. Rest in peace Jerry.

Jerry was number 20 here at huntwa, joining March 3rd 2007.   He was here from the ground roots of this place, and as previously posted, his first post was a good indicator of the type of guy he was.   Bless him and his family.  His wisdom will be missed but not forgotten.  As one of our most Senior members, I can tell you he was a Sage among men.

Had to post some pics.

First is Jerbear getting ready to call in a tom to my kids... (didn't work )

Second is a pic Jerry took of us on the youth hunt he was taking us on. He is going to be missed for sure. I was thinking of him today....hence the pics.....

He set a great example for me.

[Wazukie]

Great pic's and you are right, he will be missed.

THanks for sharing.
