Was very kind to me in my early days of working while raising a young family.

We were out of town when Jerome passed away. I worked at DMCA for about 24 years and have many special memories working for Jerome. He loved his "creative group" & worked closely with all of us. I continued to see him over the years & enjoyed our dinners together. My wife & I will miss him.

Jerry was such a special man. Not only did he love Aunt Marcia but he was also very sweet to my grandma, Betty Pogue. Thank you Jerry for your kind example.

All:

Jerry was the person that introduced me to the direct marketing industry, personally mentored me and provided me with the sales foundation that I still attribute to him and the personal guidance and frendship that I have valued every day since. JBO will be forever remembered and sorely missed.

Jerome and DIMAC were a big part of my life and career. I learned so much from Jerry. How can any of us forget his 3x5 notecards! I'm sorry to have missed his visitation yesterday. My sympathies to his dear family and friends. Lynn Kerkemeyer

Jerry was larger than life. I remember shortly after I started working at DMCA, he came down and stood over me as I wrote some copy. He leaned in and pointed on the paper (yes, "paper) to a few words and told me I could make better, snappier choices. He was like that, lol. I still remember the printer proofs he gave me as a gift that contained the "How to" series David Ogilvy wrote about direct marketing. He taught me a lot.

RIP Mr. O. You made your mark on this kid.

Peace,

Steve
