Rest in peace Jerry. Never met ya...admired the HELL out of your boat and your OSO wisdom. Funny how you can feel a loss even never having met a person.
And DO THIS. We just did a run in memory of my bro Straight Jacket prior to the Michigan City SBI race. 35 boats and a LOT of horsepower with his dad smiling hugely in HIS former boat that Mild Thunder bought and rigged. Totally awesome.

Damn, the LEOPA gang has taken some big losses in the last couple years ... Phil Martin, Dave Stemen, and now Jerry.
Life can sure be short. Enjoy every minute of it as all three of these guys did!
