He would use terms like "Trooper" or "Jubilation" when addressing you, in both a playful and affectionate manner.
He would laugh so hard he would bring himself and you, to tears. He LOVED telling a good story. "Can you believe that?" he'd say.
He loved the theater, a fine meal, and a good bottle of scotch.
He adored his family and showed off any new photos of his grandchildren at every opportunity. And when the phone rang in the office every day at 3:45, over the years you came to know exactly who was on the other end.
"That's my bride," he'd say, in loving terms of his wife Mattie, before he'd pick up so they could discuss dinner plans.
He was a friend and mentor to many, always with a gentle touch.
Former ICD Executive Director Jerry Evans passed away last week at the age of 78.
This one really hurts. There's not much more I could say because I fear if I started, we'd be here all day.
So please indulge us. If you have a story about Jerry you'd like to share, please leave it in the comments below.
We will miss you greatly Jubilation.
