Mr. Putnam (Jer) was one of a kind. I have so many memories of him since I was over at his house all of the time growing up. He may be gone from this world but the many memories that I have of him cause me to break out in a huge smile. God Bless Jerry and the entire Putnam family.

I remember Mr. Putman at the football games. Such a proud dad and big fan. All us kids thought of him as one of the "cool" dads. My heart goes out to you.
