Dear Julie,
I may not have known Jerry personally, but what I knew of him he was a very loving and caring person. I was just a buyer from him on Ebay,but from doing that he and I had formed a friendship. He loved you and his family very much. I am honored that I did get to know Jerry and also you Julie. Please know I am here for you Julie and am keeping you in my prayers. Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy.

Julie,
You may not remember us. But Jerry will always be a part of our family, our American Filtrona Family. Monty was union president for years and I was the secretary. We spent many long hours with Jerry, through good times and bad. We had the utmost respect for him. We will never forget that he was the greatest Boss, compassionate Leader, and friend. We loved him, along with everyone who knew him, especially American Filtrona.
Our heart goes out to you and Jerry's family.
We love you, Julie.
Monty and Brenda Hollar

Julie, we were so shocked to hear of Jerry's passing. I have such warm memories of the wonderful times we all had together so many years ago. You were both so kind to welcome me into your circle of friends when I first moved here & didn't know anyone. Doug & I always admired Jerry & will remember him best for his zest for life and his engaging smile. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Cathy & Doug Walden, Loren & Sean

Years ago Jerry told me he didn't want to go to God empty handed.He quickly realized we can only go empty handed, and Christ responds with open arms.He took that step of faith and Christ filled his heart with compassion,charity,and a desire to help as many as he could.And I believe their were many.In great sorrow he will be missed,but with great joy we can celebrate his life. Our prayers are with you Julie,and all of the family. Pat and Ralph Huber

Dear Mrs. Robinson,
My name is Jesse Stalnaker. I have previously been a pastor and I am now principal at Richmond Christian School. As far as I know, we have never met. However, I hope that it will comfort you to know I was the first to arrive and your husband was not alone. My prayers continue to be for you and your family.

My thoughts and prayers are with Jerry and Julie's family. I did not know Jerry, but knew of his kind heart and good soul from Julie's sister Carrie, who spoke of him often.

I have so many warm memories of the times spent together as we cousins grew into adulthood. Jerry was always the one so full of spunk and fun.

My prayers and love to the whole Robinson family.
