Jerome, like so many of our classmates you always put the "Class of 1967" first. You always showed up, spoke up, lifted up and always stood tall when it came to helping OUR CLASS! That was always a long trip from California to MS and you even showed up in Texas in 2004. We'll miss that dry wit you always exhibted. You were not only a great classmate but also a great friend.
tribute by James GarnerJerome, this is the photo you sent for our class website in 2018, a year after our 50th Commencement, and two years prior to receiving your Heavenly wings. We will long remember that you never missed a class reunion. Rest In Power, classmate until we meet again.
