Papa Jerry as he was known to my son and his former son-in-law, Jason Tippett, was a sweet teddy bear of a man the times I met him. We grieved together as we laid our grandson, Logan Tippett, to rest in Florence, AL. Rest now Jerry and be at peace. Barbara Tubbs HIll, Florence, AL

I'm so sorry for your loss. Jerry was quite a character with a great big heart. I will always remember the great things he did for me and the laugh that would light up a room. He was truly one of a kind and will be missed by all.
