Jerrell was a dedicated and hard worker.  He retired from American Proteins after twenty-five years of employment there.  He enjoyed woodworking in his shop, gardening, and growing flowers.  He loved his wife, children, and grandchildren more than life itself, and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
