I started working at Daugherty Bros when I was 19 or 20 years old. I remember when I first met Jerry He was good to me right from the beginning. I have so many good memories of him. I got to apprentice under him for a while and I learned so much! He was a good teacher and a good man who loved his wife and son more than anything. He was an amazing technician. The man could fix more with a broken distributor shaft than I could with a whole box of tools but he was patient with me. Pretty much if he couldn't fix it you might as well throw it away. I remember the last time I saw him was it a little store there in fort Blackmore. He was looking forward to retiring. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. Rest easy my friend.
