"So sorry to hear of the passing of Jerry. He and I were missionary companions back in 1964 in Arlington, Washington, just above Seattle. We weren’t together very long before his mission ended, but we formed a lasting friendship with our love of photography as well as teaching the gospel. May the Good Lord bless his family and loved ones with cherished memories of a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. God bless. Regards, Tom Tolman"

Tributes
"Jerry and I entered the mission field together in June of 1962, serving in the Northwestern States Mission, whose headquarters were in Portland, Oregon. A few years ago we got together again at a mission reunion and greatly enjoyed talking. He soon sent me a CD of the photos he had taken at the reunion. My prayers are with all of the family."
"Fair winds and following seas, my friend. Thank you for introducing me, over forty years ago, to our mutual best friend, Dennis R. Curry. You & I were blessed with his friendship and mercy, which was never strained. Happy trails, Jerry. John"
