Jerry was my neighbor for my entire life growing up. He was kind and generous. He let us play baseball in his big front yard. He made the neighborhood and everyone around him better. Despite my being a teenager, we had multiple respectful and deep conversations. My life was blessed by Jerry Brilley. - Joe Van Orden
I met Jerry years ago through Mr. Rush Copy & Print when I worked at the Grand Design. He was always friendly and I enjoyed chatting with him. He seemed to be a good man. I’m sorry for your family’s loss.
Wish I could be there to send Jerry off. Good friend. Even lived above Owen Press before I found my bride.
Many days and nights helping Jer finish is basement ( old house ) and building all the decks at current home.
Cannot counts all the good times together with Jerry.
Hope to see you again someday.
Jack
