View all 206 ReflectionsJerry and I worked at LEPD. We were both SROs. He was at the high school and I at the middle school. We met often and assisted one another often. We were very close and the best of friends. I retired in 2009 and he was still there. I was so upset by his murder that I could hardly function. Jerry was just the best including husband and dad. I hope his family is doing well. I miss Jerry and always will.
