We are so sorry about Jerry passing away. He always had a smile and a laugh for all the people he met. Knew him from a child at St. Luke’s and we graduated MHS together. Years later we worked together on the customer service telephones at Karastan. He will be truly missed by his family and friends. Our deepest sympathy at this difficult time.

Chris, I wanted to send my deepest sympathies as I just heard about your father. Even though it has been many years, I still remember how kind he was and how much fun we had with your father both at his house and your grandparents. We will all keep you in our prayers during this difficult time.

Chris, we are saddened by the loss of your dad. We were fortunate to see Jerry at many of the shag functions here in North Myrtle Beach over the years and enjoyed the great conversations and laughs we shared. We will miss him! Dock and Cheri Gilley
