It is great sadness that I bring this news.

(This was the reason I posted a few weeks back requesting your prayers).

 

I have many memories of this man.....Many miles we rode together, many laughs shared, many times sitting at the same table, many stories told..

VR.ORG name: Boo

EDIT 12-27-14:

Sorry I didn't explain/provide this information in my original post folks. I was having computer problems and wanted to post what I could at that moment to get the new out to you.

 

Boo had Leukemia, MDS and his kidneys began failing. He was placed in the hospital during the third week of November. Dialysis was going on for his kidneys, and he was on some strong medication which left him bed ridden. Many sores appeared in his mouth which made it hard for him to speak. His legs were both swelled up. The Dr. told him and his wife Jane that he would not make it to the new year. Boo wanted to go home to be with his family. The hospital let him go home on Friday, Dec 5th, knowing there wasn't anything else they could do for him. Jane asked her their kids to watch him on Friday Dec 12th so that she could go to the funeral home to make arrangements. When Jane returned home her kids met her at the front door. Jane knew he passed while she was gone. Jane told me that Boo just didn't want to her to see him pass on . They were married 47 years., That is a long time to be with someone. Boo and Jane were good friends with everyone they met in the VR family. He will be missed..

Sorry to hear this about your riding buddy.

I am so sorry to read this news. Jerry was a great person and I thought a lot of him and his wife both. Jerry was quick to send me an inspirational message after he heard my cancer returned earlier this year. I saved the email and just read it again after reading this thread. He will be greatly missed.

Having a friend or family member pass is tough no matter what time of year it is, it always seems worse this time of year though. Please pass on my best wishes to his family, let them know he and they will be in my prayers.

[Grandpagak]

[Riderduke]

Jerry & Jane were a great couple to hang out with at events....RIP Boo!!!! he will be missed

[Marcarl]

Whenever somebody leaves us, there is an empty spot that we have to deal with. Life will move on, but differently.

For all those who miss Boo, my sympathies, may you be able to find comfort and peace with the One who knows and cares.

Sad news indeed. I guess I knew this was coming but it does not make it any easier. Boo had been around here since very near the beginning. He will certainly be missed. Our prayers go out to Jane and the rest of the family and friends.

So sorry to hear this, I met Jerry and Jane at my first Asheville rally, we seemed to hit it off rite away. I was really looking forward to seeing him at this years Asheville and contacted him when he didnt show. Guess he was having problems back then. He was one of the "good guys" RIP Jerry.

Boo. One of the early ones. R.I.P. Jerry. We will ride again.

So sad! When I was a wee little venturerider I had no venture. Boo took pity and sold me his. This started bit of a long distance friendship. He sent me calendars from Yamaha. Assisted with buying our first camper. Gonna miss him.

Thanks for letting us know Eck.

Boo has been up here a couple of times and he will be missed for sure. We did share some good Navy stories. And served on the same ship.

RIP Boo

Jerry and Jane made it up here a couple of times for the M&E that I have. They will be missed.

[Riderduke]

Here is Boo and Jane at the last Asheville they attended....

 

This was the day that I talked Boo into registering Jane as "HOO"

Yup he will be missed

[Squidley]

Jerry has been with us from the start and always was willing to help anyone. I remember he and Jane fondly as I was fortunate enough to spend a couple rally's in his company. It's so hard knowing he is gone, life has become a little darker for our loss....God Speed Jerry, you will be missed.

[99silver]

We will miss you Boo !!

Here's a pic from Potato Creek 2010, God Speed....

Prayers sent to Jane and Family

[eagleeye]

I have to say that it is very nice to see pictures of Jerry/Boo.

It really makes a guy think about your time here and the good friends that you make while your here.

Here is a picture from a ride back in the summer of 2008 up in the hills of southern Wisconsin.

A great day was had by all.

(notice the VENTURE sign?)
