I had the privilege of wornikg with Jere in the forestry side of GP when it existed here in Fort Bragg. I always admired Jere's sense of humor and honest straight forward approach to any challenge placed before him. He taught me things I never knew about the forest lands I grew up in. When I began my law enforcement career began, Jere was right there to support me, and always encouraged me along the way. He showed up to each one of my swearing in ceremonies in his high water Ben Davis pants, usually covered from head to toe with sweat and dust from having just arrived from the woods. He was truly a pillar in the coastal community that anchored Fort Bragg to the very roots that put it on the map. Jere's leadership and calm mannerism in the community will surely be missed. I will miss you Jere, and know that none of us in the law enforcement family here in Mendocino County will rest until justice is served.##imported-begin##Livinia##imported-end##
