To Jerry's family including his extended boat racing fraternity I can't express enough how difficult this is to me personally. I knew Jerry & became friends during my Alky racing days in to when he drove Mercury OPC rigs & I drove for OMC. In a separate message Charlie Bradley expressed how Jerry could always brighten a room with his endless stories more tainted towards "dark" jokes. I can remember him doing so when I first met Jerry in Depue at the Holiday Inn where we all stayed in the, excuse me, the good old days. I'll miss you Jerry as many others but I know you will enjoy where you are now.
To Paul, Kathy, Todd & the rest of his family, my sincerest condolensces.
