    They were nice people, I’m sorry they’re gone. Too bad it wasn’t his lowlife murderer grandson Derick who was killed.

    I am very sorry for your loss. I worked with Jerry for several years at KCP&L. He was a fun guy and we had a lot of laughs together. I visited my brother’s grave today in the Higginsville Veterans Cemetery. My brother died 8/20/21. I noticed Jerry Cantrell’s headstone which reminded me of Jerry and the time we worked together. I am about 98% sure that this is Jerry I worked with. Would a family member tell me if I am correct. Thanks for the memories!
