Gerald ‘Jerry’ G. Way, age 79, of Cornell, passed away at his home on Saturday, September 25, 2021. Gerald is survived by his son, Glen Way. Following Jerry’s wishes, no services will be held.
We moved to Cornell 36 years ago and Jerry was a close neighbor. He was always friendly and ready to chat for a bit. We will miss seeing him around. He was a nice man.
Jerry , was a great friend and neighbor, I visited him often , to shoot the bull ! With a malt liquor or two , Once he called me at 2:00 am , That he shot two coyotes chasing my cows and calves in the field. And he said when my dog Huckleberry don’t sleep, I don’t either He had a garden every year, l offered a few times to work it up for him , this spring , he
surprised me , by saying it’s my last summer, Six days ago at 730 break of day,. Jerry drives in my yard and ask how my new Beagle was doing ! Going to miss a good friend in Jerry
I met Jerry late in our lives, and haven’t had much contact with him, however, he always struck me as a very humble and kind man. I enjoyed knowing him. May he rest in peace.
Jerry was a good person and a good friend. We would have coffee at Elmer’s resturant and talk about old times in Cornell. I will miss my friend. GOD BLESS.
Glen, your dad will certainly be missed by many. We have been friends most of our lives and I really enjoyed his visits. We’d sit in the work shop or out side and talk over the world. He’d puff on his pipe and tell me “ well, Jack, we got everything settled so I gotta go” in his slow drawl. Then call Huck to go. I will miss him and his friendship.
Glen I new your dad for over 60 years we worked for same places over the years.He was a guiding light when we needed one.Man what the world will be like now he is looking down on us.My father and he were close also they are together now Forever. Time will pass and we will always remember the best of them.
Thank you all for your memories of dad. Your thoughtfulness is very much appreciated. There is so much I would like to say, but I don’t have the words.
