The Hoenigman family wishes to extend their deepest sympathy to the Hamlin family on the loss of their loved one. We met Jerry and his brother when we first moved to this area 10 years ago. He was always friendly with a smile and a wave of his hand. My chlidren were very small when he did some work for us and gave them a ride on his big tractor. They have never forgotton that, just as we will never forget you. May he rest in peace. May God’s hand touch each and everyone of you in this time of great loss. God Bless.
We will miss seeing him everyday at the resturant. He will be greatly missed.
our thoughts and prayers are with the family
