Jerry was a true man of peace. As the former CEO of Overlake Hospital, I hired Jerry as our Chaplin. Saying he exceeded our expectations would be an understatement. On countless occasions, I would see Jerry sit with grieving families and on many occasions staff.
He was a great guy and he will be dearly missed. My condolences to the entire family.

Jerry added so much humor and joy to our OHMC working relationship, and we shared a faith that we will sit at the feet of Our Lord in Heaven, according to God's plan for us. May all of the loving memories help you and the family
at this painful time.
