Having known Jerry for many years I consider myself honored to have him as a friend. A man of integrity and a great mind, always interested in learning something new. A wonderful listener, we had many lengthy talks over the years. I’ll never forget his kindred spirit and his devotion to his family. God speed Jerry, we miss you.
