We are so very sorry for your loss. Prayers 🙏🏻 for all.
I remember Jerry as a fellow who smiled much and seemed to enjoy mischief when he could find it or produce it. He was a good guy.
Bruce. We lost a good guy and we will miss him. Many don't know how good of a friend he was to me. He would do anything for me at the drop of a hat. He was a crack shot and taught me the art of dove hunting. So long good friend and I'll see you someday in those autumn dove fields. Peace.
So sorry to hear this. So sad to have lost another classmate. Fox had a unique personality 😊. To use slang from our day, he was a “cool cat”. He will be missed. Prayers for Bruce, Barbara and all the family. RIP: Foxman❣️
