    I am saddened to hear of the passing of my friend & colleague.
    Jerry was like a brother to me.
    It hurt me when he left town.

  8. I am sorry for the loss of your father, brother and grandfather. To me, he was my car repairman – I had an older car. But JC was just a great human being and just a smart man. He made me laugh regularly. The world is a better place because of him. We miss him so much.

    I am glad you gave him a home, Sheilah, when he needed you. This gave all of us who knew him here in Bloomington, IL great peace of mind after his accident. Since he spoke well of you, we knew he was in good hands. Thank you.

  9. I’m sorry for the loss of JC. I called JC for all my car repairs. I knew I would get an honest and excellent repair as well as pleasant lively conversation. He has been missed since he became ill. God bless all who helped in his care.

  10. Jerry was such a good man. He worked on my car for nearly 20 years. I always loved to listen to his stories, and he loved to talk. One year, I got wind of his birthday and made him a cake and took it to him at the shop. Only time I saw him speechless. Jerry will be missed!!

  11. My sincere condolences to Jerry’s family. My brothers and sisters and I grew up on the same street (1200 block of MacArthur, Bloomington) as Jerry and his siblings. I remember him, Nancy, Patty, Donnie, and Simon and their parents. May he Rest In Peace. Arlene Brown Stevens
