I hope Jerry considers writing a book about all his trials and triumphs so that his immense craft knowledge doesn't simply disappear.
Our community has lost too many fine craftsmen to natural attrition and mishaps already, so Jerry's health issues and withdrawal from active work sadden me beyond just the human/personal aspects of it.
Happy retirement trails, Jerry. Who will "keep us in stitches" now, I wonder?
