Jerry was a very special person and a dear friend! He was my first Boss that I had at the YMCA. I learned so much from Jerry and his teachings lead to my 38 year career with the Dallas YMCA. So sorry for your loss and I wish I had known so I could have attended his service. My prayers are with you all! Mike Hamilton
I remember him as a great man influencing my youth for years to come. I was one of his "Junior Leaders".
To the Jenson family and all whom loved Gerry, we send our sympathy and join you in celebrating Gerry's life. His gentle spirit, positive outlook and active life all serve as an inspiration to us. We are touched by his active duty patriotism and athletic and professional successes. He is clearly someone who followed his passion throughout life and one can only imagine the impact he has made to all those he coached.
We are so sorry to miss the funeral due to a flight cancellation. We will keep you all in our prayers.
Love, The Troup family (Gordon, Laurie, Kelsey, Kaitlin and Pete)
