Jerry adored his late wife, Paula Dee Potts who passed away on July 5, 2018. He longed for her since the day she passed, wanting nothing more than to be by her side again. Well Jerry, Dad, Grandpa, and Friend, you made it to where you wanted to be, back to the woman who stole your heart many years ago. You are missed greatly; however, you have brought all of your loved ones here great joy, knowing you are right where you want to be, back with the love of your life.

Give mom a kiss for us and don’t eat all the hamburgers up there. Rest in peace – Semper fi
