EULA and all of Jerry's family:

How deeply saddened I am to learn of Jerry's passing!

Jerry was one nicest people I ever knew, always the same every time you met him, and would break out into that million dollar smile when he said hello.

I knew he had not been well for some time so my son and I stopped by to see him the last time I visited KY.

And, I had the distinct pleasure of introducing Jerry to the sport of pistol marksmanship at Fort Hood, Texas, and how proud I am today that I had that opportunity.

He was a real CHAMPION in every way!

I'll miss this wonderful man and his sense of humor. I'll never forget his telling me how tasty RoosterFries were when our group went out to dinner in Kentucky. Good thing I asked what they were. He laughed so hard!! I'm sure he is at peace and sharing his sense of humor in heaven. Love from Mary Goss who he used to call "peanut".

Jerry was one of the finest gentlemen I've ever met on the firing line. I'll never forget shooting with him and listening to him give advice to young shooters like me. He was one fine individual and he will be missed by many of us. Your family is in my prayers and thoughts.

I'm shocked. Jerry and I, with others, formed TeamUltraDot and won Pistol Championships together. I will never forget him.

Even though Jerry was my first cousin I only met him once. I expect to see him one day in Heaven!

I was so sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. He was one of my favorite persons. I missed seeing him every Sunday. He always seemed to be a kind and gentle person. God bless the family in this time of sorrow.
