My condolences to Jerrys family and I know this is 8 years past. I met Jerry years ago (1998) when we both participated in an Urban League Black Executive Exchange Program (BEEP) event at Howard University. I dont remember much about him, but he must have left an impression on me as I reached out to him afterwards and then saved his reply letter. I was going through old memorabilia and found his letter and it brought a smile to my face. It seems to be consistent with what others have said below about him developing and encouraging other young professionals. I went to look him up online and found that he had passed. Im attaching the letter in the hopes that it makes you smile as well. So sorry I didnt keep in touch and again, Im sorry for your lost.

Best,

Jan and Family,

Thanks for contacting me. I am so happy I had a chance to visit Jerry a couple of months ago. Mr. Hinch was one of the best bosses i have ever had. He was always willling to share his knowledge to make others lives better. He certainly did that for me. He was a true professional. I remember being so proud of him being one of the first African American men in a high level position at the VA. He taught so many young adults about having and maintaining a professional image in the workplace.

Jan, it was so nice to sit with you on Friday. If you need me for anything you have my number. Lots of Love

Although Gerry & I haven't crossed paths for 30 years, I remember his decency in dealing with people at all levels, his great pride in the Federal Service, and his thoughtfulness with his friends.

Dear Jan and Family,
I owe much to my professional development and growth to Mr. Hinch having served as one of his senior managers at VA for many years and prior to that at OPM. He gave me great opportunities that I can now pass on to those I now seve and mentor. Always remember that his impact was far reaching.

Dear Mrs. Hinch and Family:

My sincere condolences to all of you. Mr. Hinch was my boss at the Office of Personnel Management, before he left for the VA. He was a fine person to work for. I recall the nice dinner party you had at your lovely home for his staff. May Mr. Hinch rest in peace.
