Thumbs up

Jerry,
My sincere condolences for your loss of a good friend. We don't get many in our lives so it hurts when we lose one that is special.

I met both of you at your booth in Sandanona way back when and you had two Parkers that had me coming back 3-4 times to look at. Every time I returned you both were just like we had been friends forever. I remember Jerry with his big smile lighting up his face. After I left for probably the 4th time , my buddy told me "go buy the gun, I know you. It will haunt you if you don't".

The gun was a DHE 20/32" straight grip, skeletal butt with a solid raised rib. It was the most I had ever spent on a Parker at the time and you two made the transaction painless. Still have it. Thanks and may God bless.

Jim,

So sorry for your loss. To lose a good friend is very difficult, but it's clear you have lots of strong and good memories to remind you of him.
