Jerry (coach) Kelican
Jerry is a close friend of mine as well as to any other turkey hunters in our area.
Jerry has been turkey hunting the mountains of Va and surrounding States since we have had a season.
not only is he one of the best in the turkey woods he is a husband ,father and Grandfather. James wood High School
named our football stadium after Jerry. this is the kind of impact Jerry has on our community.
i just hung up the phone from talking to Jerry. the man i once knew now struggles to remember
who he is talking to in the middle of a conversation.
Jerry is in the advanced stages of Alzheimers. i could tell as his voice choked up on the phone
as we talked about this past spring season that for a brief instance Jerry remembered
the sound of a hard gobbling bird.
please keep this old turkey hunter in your prayers.
i will miss sharing a tree with this veteran of the turkey woods very much.
thank you for taking the time to read this post.
