I’m sad to have to be creating this but it helps me express my sorrow for loosing my good friend today. For those of you who knew JerrBear but haven’t heard, we lost our good friend today due to a motorcycle accident. For those of you who didn’t know him I’m sorry that you didn’t.
He was like a grandfather my son and although he looked so rugged and tuff, it touched my heart when he returned with a tear in his eye, from having a big “man” to “man” talk with my young son at the time, about getting in trouble and how you better stay out of it unless your ready to pay the consequences.
JerrBear loved to ride and in the last few years with his health failing, he always said that he wanted to go doing what he loved. It seemed that when he was finally doing well, this awful accident happened and he is now gone. JerrBear belonged to the West Milton Eagles Motorcycle Club and will be missed by many.
Sissy, his wife will be lost without him and I hope will find comfort in knowing that she has her extended family to be there for her. JerrBear was her life and without him she will have to learn how to live all over again. She is tough and there are many who will be there for her. We all love her.
So when your out on your bike, look up above and know that JerrBear is with you all, in spirit, looking down upon all of us, especially looking down all of the ladies shirts, with a smile and a beer.
My Bear was my heart. He was the sunshine in my life. I will always hold him in my heart. I knew he loved me and he knew the same. I always will. Jerrbear was loved by all that knew him. H was a kind and gentle giant with a heart as big as all outdoors. He loved riding more than anything. I am honored to have had him in my life and wish to thank all our friends and family for helping me to get through this.
God please take good care of him now.

I JUST WANTED TO POST MY HONEST STORY ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE MEETING JERRBEAR.
I MET HIM AT THE CORNER TAVERN.
I WAS NOT SITTING WITH HIM.
NOR HAD I TALKED TO HIM. I ONLY ADMIRED THE BIKE OUTSIDE. HE THANKED ME FOR ADMIRING IT.
NEXT I KNOW I HAD CONSUMED TOO MUCH THE NIGHT BEFORE AND I WAS WONDERING HOW I GOT HOME AND WHERE MY CAR WAS. I GOT A RIDE TO MY VEHICLE AND ASKED SOMEONE I RECOGNIZED HOW I GOT HOME.
THAT MAN MUST HAVE STRAPPED ME ONTO THAT BIKE!!!
I REMEMBER NOTHING.
MY DAUGHTER ONLY SAID THAT HE DROPPED ME OFF AND WALKED ME TO
THE DOOR.
WEEKS LATER I RECOGNIZED THE MAN.
(A TRUE GENTLEMAN) AND THROUGH MY
EMBARRASSMENT I THANKED HIM.
HE TOOK IT ALL IN STRIDE.
I CAN ONLY WONDER WHAT MY FATE WOULD HAVE BEEN HAD JERRBEAR HAD NOT BEEN KIND ENOUGH TO ASSUME UNSPOKEN RESPONSIBILITY THAT NIGHT.
I ONLY WONDER HOW MANY LIVES HE MAY HAVE TOUCHED THE WAY HE TOUCHED MINE.
GOD BLESS HIM!!!
