Tributes & Memories
Jerry was a wonderful man,I remember going to Martin's BB-Q as a child and remembering the nice man who always gave little kids candy whenever he saw them. Years later, I was working at a car dealership and found out this kind carsalesman (which is rare for a carsalesman)was actually the nice man from Martins BBQ. He was like a second father to me while working there! He was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed! May God Bless you, his family.
