Our beloved Jerry Byrd passed into the Chapter Grand this morning at 7 AM. January 6, 2013. Please spread the word to other Brothers not listed above.  He lived his Brotherhood, probably more passionately than any of us. He brought many of us together with his efforts to find and contact as many of us as possible. As a result,  a lot of us have been able to reconnect with friends  from long-ago. We know Jerry is at peace with our Lord, and no longer is suffering. Several of us had the privilege of seeing Jerry for the last time just yesterday morning. JoAnn told us that all Jerry spoke of many days was his bond and friendship with his Phi Brothers. Please keep Jerry and his family in your prayers.
