very good man great boss good golfer I’ll miss him so much
My sweet Uncle you will be dearly missed. I will always cherish your bear hugs. Nobody could hug like you. Your laughter and sparkling eyes always reminded me of my Father. Your cooking was out of this world. I know that you are at peace and teaching the angels in heaven how to polka. Kiss my Father and Mother for me. I can say that I have so many memories to treasure and that I have been truly blessed to have had a man like you to call my “Uncle Jerry”. Until we see each other again……save a dance for me. Deb
To the Mount family, Our deepest sympathy. May God’s loving presence comfort all of you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. With love, Tom and Linda Herb.
