So very sorry to hear of the loss of Jerry. He and I had been friends since the early 50’s. My Dad and Alton had been buddies for so many years and Jerry and I grew up playing together then went on to school. It a sad thing to hear of the loss of another good bud.

Dear Steven, Coltan and family,
Mere words cannot express our heartfelt sympathy during this most difficult time. Please know that our love, prayers and thoughts surround you and your family.
One of the best memories of Jerry was when he participated in re-enactments and was part of the contingent at the tribute services for Mike’s great-great-great grandfather, we have a photo of him in his uniform from that day, nearly 20 years ago.
Please know that as God holds you in His arms, we hold you in our heart.
with our love, Judy, Mike & Jonathan
