Jerome "Jerry" Marion Stokes

May memories bring you comfort in the coming days.

Bill, I just finished reading your dad's obituary in the Sunday Enterprise. What a tribute to him. My thoughts are with you as you put your dad to rest.

To the family of Jerry Stokes, he was such a gentleman and everyone thought so much of him.
It was a pleasure knowing him and may he now rest in peace and be free of pain and worry. God bless all of you and our deepest Sympathy goes out to all of the family. May the good Lord Bless and keep you all in this time of need.
Our Deepest Sympathy
Pat and Jim Cornelius

Jerry made going to work at GSU fun. He was serious and smart when it came to business, but he always had time for a quip or two in passing, along with sharing that twinkle in his eye that is so evident in his picture here. I remember that he had an extensive vocabulary, of which he made the most in his business writings, many of which Mildred Osborne and I "read back" (proofed) for him. In proofing one particular document Jerry wrote, we were getting caught up in his use of profound language, when we stopped, went to the next sentence, and started laughing. It read, "and that's a lot of water!" A six-word sentence in one of Jerry's writings? "And that's a lot of water" became a running joke among the three of us. Thank you, Jerry, making life back then so pleasant. Rest and peace to you, Friend.

Remarkable man. What a wonderful testamony.
