I have so many wonderful memories of Uncle Jerry. He was so special to me. I remember him and Aunt Joan riding their motorcyle or driving the van cross country to visit us in West Virginia. Even though the miles separate us my love for him, Aunt Joan, Jeff and Joni Lynn never diminished. He will be missed until we meet again.
