I never knew your father; however, my husband and I became members of St. John's United Church in Thompson in 1969 where the memory of Jerry was still very much alive. His time in Thompson was frequently referred to when folks were talking about the early days of the congregation. He made a difference. My condolences to the family. - Posted by: Leona Mayer (an unknown friend from Thompson) on: May 16, 2026
