Mr & Mrs Koenigsmark, Jackie, Jeannie & Joey,
I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your son and brother. I remember babysitting the 4 of you Koenigsmark kids when I was about 15 years old. My mom told me today the sad news, bc I was out of town on vacation when this happened otherwise I would have been there for all of you. I have a lot of fond memories of each and everyone of you kids and your dogs Brutis, & Buttercup. Those are memories I will always cherish.
All four of you have come from "good stock" I love your parents as if they where my own. My God be with all of you in this sorrowful time.
Love and Prayers from
your babysitter

Dear Koenigsmark family,
I am very sorry for your loss. Jerry was very knowledgeable with colors and helped me out many times with his styling expertise. He had a calm and coolness about him that was always needed during our hectic color matching timelines. He will be greatly missed by myself and all of us here at PPG.
God Bless you all,
