Jerry Miller - Cochrane, ON, Canada Leaves us

Jerry Miller from Cochrane, ON Canada has passed away.  We don't have much information yet but when we do we will pass it along.  Jerry lived about as far north in Ontario as you can get but it was not unusual to see him at tractors shows across America.  Some will remember at the Great Planting at Three Sisters in Chillicothe, IL. 25 years ago, Jerry led the first of many plowing laps with his MH GP proudly displaying the US Flag.  This was signicant only because 9/11 had just happened. All the picures taken that weekend never showed a plane in the sky!  

Jerry loved his Masseys and had a very healthly collection.  In recent years he had been selling some of them off knowing this day would come.  He had a beautiful flatbed truck he displayed in recent years. ( I have pics of it somewhere!)

Jerry was a fun loving individual with a mind of his own.  It was fun to have conversations with him but you had to hang onto your hat when he got on a roll!  But most importantly he had fun with his collection and with all the people he met at shows and events.

When we receive more information we will post it.

Two long-time MCA members from other countries that many of us knew have passed in just the last month: Jack Turner - England and now Jerry in Canada!

Rest in Peace to you both!

It is tough to hear we lost another dear Massey friend, Jerry Miller from Canada.  He had such a big heart.  Always warm and welcoming.  He had great stories to tell and was quite knowledgeable.  Always a delight with a smile on his face.
