An Old Friend
Upon meeting death a smile appeared on my face. It was not that of jest but that of seeing an old friend. We laughed and spoke of my life and all the many things I did. The good, the bad, the reckless and the things I will miss. Death smiled then and spoke “You have lived a life that was completely your own. You have greeted death as you would have in life and by doing so you were able to leave this world with more laughter and love. My friend it is now time for those that did not love or embrace your friendship to feel as you did.” Death embraced me and I knew where I would go. To the places of dreams far beyond the stars where we all hope to one day be.

Jerry helped train me at Safeway and helped get me smileing at work with his jokes. He will be missed.
My heart breaks to hear of this. I loved Jerry as a friend and co-worker. I will miss you so much Jerry. Peace to your sons and other family during this time. Until we meet again...
O Jerry! You were definitely someone who left a mark on people. You will be missed dearly. I worked with Jerry for a few years, and it is sad to see a good soul gone too soon. He knew what to say and when, truly a great friend. May your boys be strong, and stay close together from here on. RIP Jerry.

I knew Jerry when I moved to Laramie 2 years ago. I met him at work, and he always made the people smile. His jokes were the best, if you were having a bad day he could just cheer you up effortlessly. He was always ready to make someone smile and talk to you about, honestly anything. He lit the place up, he was always a great person to be around. I knew him for a really short time, I did, but I consider myself lucky for meeting him. I'm gonna miss you Jerry... I really do hope you're at peace...
There are many memories with Jerry. Met him in 2nd grade and all through school. Also was lucky enough to reconnect with him later and got to know the man he became. My love to you always. Rest in Peace. I will always think of you.????
Jerry was a great classmate and friend. Caring love and kind hearted. Many prayers to his family. May he Rest In Peace ???❤️
