Jerry was my 1st cousin. But my brother and I looked up to him more like a brother. We miss him every day. He was a great person and always great to me and my family. Love and miss him.

I had the pleasure of working with Jerry and I must say this gentle giant always had time for his friends and co-workers. We may have lost this dear friend but he won't be forgotten. Lynda, may God Bless!

Jerry Coumelis was my cousin, and he was like another brother since his father was killed during WWII as a ship captain. Our father was like a father to Jerry, giving him guidance, taking him on our family vacations, and making him a close member of the Mathews family. I have made a Facebook photo album in tribute to Jerry at the following link: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4258831556117&set=a.4258831356112.2133897.1445744640&type=1&theater#!/media/set/?set=a.4258831356112.2133897.1445744640&type=1
