Dear Barb, We are so sorry to hear about Jerry. You are in our thoughts and prayers. When your heart is empty, filling it with happy memories can help you find your smile. I have been searching for you the past couple of years on the computer, but no luck. Would you believe we were in Apache Junction at the casino last March. We will be in Tucson this March. It would be nice to see you. Our deepest sympathy, Joe and Carol
Dear Barb, I’ve been trying to send a message thought the internet with the funeral home, but I’m not sure if it has gone through. Carol

Peace out, Jerry.
To Jerry’s family,
Our deepest sympathy to you at this sad time. I myself only met Jerry once, but he seemed like a great man and Wiggy sure did think alot of him. Many of is stories of work included Jerry and the times they had there. He talked about him often and actually was asking about him the night he passed. You never know what life is going to throw at you, but it seems that everyone who knew Jerry thought alot of him and he was a wonderful person. Please hold your memories close to your heart.
Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time and god bless.
Tony “Wiggy” and Donnie Wielgopolan
