Crossett, AR Monday, January 24, 2011 I am very sorry to hear about Jerry's passing. I worked with him at Burlington Industries and became good friends with him. I will always remember the trips to Dalton, GA we had to make together, they were miserable trips but we always managed to have a good time together. May God bless you in this time.Robin Colley
