Jerry was my engineer when I was at 42’s. He was very capable and fun to be around. He couldn’t wait to get back home for his retirement. I think he rode a side shift Harley. I hope he enjoyed his home by the lake for his time.
JJ was a smart and fun guy to be around. He was on another shift at 43’s but I really enjoyed working with him. FS 43 was a wild and fun place to work. He started “C Shifting” as an armoires truck guard, I think about the time he got off of probation, so when I knew him, he had been doing it for a while. He had some interesting stories about that job and many more about coming out from Arkansas and getting his start on the LAFD and water skiing. He was able to buy the farm he grew up on and the farm next door. He lead and had a great life. My condolences to his family. Rest in Peace Jerry!
