So sorry to read in the Times that Jerry has passed away. He truely was a kind and giving man. We worked together for many years at Hughes. He was very interested in helping junior engineers and mentored me and others in several areas. He was a master of many! I will pass this on to our old Hughes lunch group. Dorothy and I have Jerry in our hearts, so he does live on.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
