I curled with Jerry for a few years at Assiniboine and he was an excellent curler. We loved hearing his hunting stories and everyone found him to be a source of inspiration. Even though it's been many years since he was in the league we still remember him fondly. - Posted by: Brian Bagnall (fellow curler) on: Feb 11, 2019
