"My deepest sympathies to Jerry's family at this difficult time. I have been gone from Trumann for 46 years but some of my fondest childhood memories are of my Little League days in which Jerry was my coach. Not only did he teach me the fundamentals but also taught me the value of good sportsmanship and fair play. He was always a good example to his players, coaches, umpires and parents. Gloria was always present and kept the book for each game. I should have made the effort to say this prior to his death: Thanks for everything, Coach! Kenny White, Short Stop, Priestly-Young
