Dear Kathy, Jennifer and entire Pullium Family.... I am very sorry for your loss. Jerry was a kind and humble gentleman. A terrific person, a true professional pilot, but above all - a true Friend. I fondly remember him and thank him for serving our country in his military career. Please always know you have many wonderful friends to lean on during this difficult time. I can tell you that just thinking of Jerry instantly brings me a smile because of the many years of flying and laughter we enjoyed. A true Friend.
