There is 1 tribute for Firefighter Jerry A. Poole.
No words can express the pride and love I have come to have for my Dad. I lost him at a time when I was
learning how to appreciate the man he was to me and those he touched. I wished that he and I could have
had more time... his Grandchildren have learned the man he was through my eyes, my heart and my memories.
I love you always Dad!
