Many memories of us growing up on Washington St. in the 50’s. A long time ago, but somehow it doesn’t seem that way. Sure was a nice time to grow up though. See you someday RIP

Norma & Family,
We just learned of your loss and immediately experienced a shared feeling. Our prayers are with you all as we remember a talented and hard working gentleman, husband and father.
Anyone who spent any amount of time working in a newspaper of yesterday couldn’t help but come to appreciate the comradery and mutual support of the dedicated people that provided the community it served with comprehensive local, state and national news. That coupled with Jerry’s positive outlook, wit and dependability made him an standout coworker for more than 25 years and a friend much longer.
With the Love of Christ – Earl & Denise Roberts
