Ousa,
Jerry and I were classmates at New Lexington High School and played sports together. As far as I know, we were the only members of the class of 1951 who also spent our full careers in the military. He in the USAF and me in the Army. I want to thank you and your family for allowing him to serve our country for his career.
MAY THE PEACE OF CHRIST BE WITH ALL OF YOU, AND WITH JERRY IN HEAVEN.
General Jim Anderson, US Army (retired)

Mala and Ousas father was also a father figure to me. I have many memories of his patient but challenging track practices, dinner with the family, especially the egg rolls, and his kind smile and laugh. He was a positive influence in my life and I am glad I was able to spend time with this family and have these memories. Love always,

Dad you taught me so much, how to work hard, how to be independent, how nothing in life is free. You taught me nothing is worth doing unless you give it all you got (or why do it) I am proud of the strength you provided me and produced in me. I have done more things then I ever dreamed possible because I never quit and I gave it all I had because you told me I could. I love how you took every chance you had to instill these values in my children. I pray that I am able to be that same example and give them the strength you passed on to me. You live forever on in us. I am so PROUD to be your DAUGHTER.

Although I never had the honor of meeting you in person I just wanted to say you must have been an amazing man!
Your daughter and Son-in-law, Ousa and Steve are two of the most caring, loving, kind, and beautiful friends I have and they attribute it to your loving heart and teachings.
Thank you for your Service to help keep America Free.
May Gold hold you in His Hands until you meet again.
You are loved and missed dearly.
Much love and respect always,
Kelly and Ken Hurley
