    I was sorry to read that Jerry had passed. I was reminded of my respect for him as a student at Wakarusa Valley and his great attitude towards all of the kids there. Galen and I spent a lot of good times together as kids as well. The Lord’s blessings to all of the Lynch family during this time.

    I went to grade school with Jerry and we were very good friends thru the school years. He always had a smile on his face and a nice word for everyone. Our heartfelt condolences for his family. The inspiration that he was to everyone will certainly be missed

    Jerry and I were good friends in the local DeMolay chapter in the mid-1960s, and were also both in the US Air Force, including Tan Son Nhut in Saigon in the early 1970s. Sorry to hear of his health issues and untimely passing. I’ll remember him as a friend and patriot, he’ll be missed.
