Re: Bad news
I've been thinking about Jerry, my memory isn't what it used to be so I had to go through old posts and he's been gone a little over a year now. SUX!

Re: Bad news
I too think of him often. When I left Jerr after my visit, I promised that next time I dropped by we would go to his favorite local restaurant. Well that followup visit didn't happen as I didn't get down there before he passed. I guess I was somewhat complacent in that Jerr appeared to be in pretty good shape for his age and tobacco use. He rode his bicycle all over town.
Lesson is to make sure to take the time to visit older friends. Grim Reaper does not work on a schedule.

Thanks for that advice. I have a friend that got leukemia from agent orange and the last time I talked to him he told me he was on his way out, not much more they can do for him. VA isn't much in Indiana I guess!

Re: Bad news
Just talked with my dad at 6:00 pm this evening (06/28/17) and I said to him one of my regrets is not going to see Jerry.
I did not have my bike at the time or I would have been in Fresno to meet my friend for the first time. This is almost spooky that we are talking about the Bear right now.
I spoke about Jerry so often even my dad would ask about him.
Funny how we really don't know people but after years of talking via i-net we grow to care and sometimes love another.
No place is dear to my heart as Talk Blade.
Not afraid to use the term love, I spoke with Jerry many long hours on the phone and the man blew my mind with his vast knowledge and intellect.
On that note thank you Pete, David, Tom(s), Terry and other mods that saw fit to include me in your realm.
Cheers to the Bear.

Re: Bad news
I spoke with Jerry over the phone many times. I felt like I knew him for years! Felt like I'd been kicked in the nuts when I found out he was gone. He was a unique individual and I don't think I'll ever forget him. See you on the other side my friend, at least I hope so!
