friend of mine until he died around five years ago. He played basketball at Payson High and was a very good baseball player. If I remember correctly, your dad had a connection with the White Sox and Jerry was set to play minor league baseball until he was diagnosed with cancer.

Jerry fought it into remission and it resurfaced several times until it finally took him decades after his first illness.

I worked closely with Jerry in a church calling and he always had good things to say about your dad whenever the subject of BYU came up.
