Dearest Annetta, I have so many wonderful memories of Jerry. Just to name a few: of course-- "the Hot Dog Man", The Cheesecake Factory, our trip to Florida and Alabama, and the wonderful times we shared when I visited you in Georgia. Jerry was a Prince among men, Annetta. There are not many like him to be found. He was a true gentleman, kind, had integrity, and I never once heard him say an ill word about anyone. And who could ever forget his great sense of humor? He will be deeply missed but will live on forever in the hearts of those (of whom there are too many to count) who loved him. I love you, my dear friend, and am here for you always. Connie

On behalf of Boatwright Family we send our condolences. I will remember Jerry's smile and the way Arnetta's eyes would sparkle when she talked about Jerry. May the scriptures at Rev. 21:3-4 bring comfort in your time of need. Luv/u

We will miss Jerry Very much. I William, had the privilege of working with Jerry and his sense of humor for a few years and it was great. We had a ball. My wife and I visited at their home in stockbridge and met his lovely wife Annetta. We're glad that we did, because just last week my wife and I for the past four years, look and admire the Hostas plants that he gave us. They are beautiful. So as long as they come back every year we will always have the presence of Jerry Harper. God Bless Jerry and his family. Peace, William and Liz Little
