My sympathy to Jerry's family, friends and co-workers. My family and I only knew Jerry from being clients of his. He took care of my family for many years including my deceased mother Helen and father Frank. Through the years, he always took time to ask us about our families when we came in for our annual visit. He was a very nice guy and friend to us. Very sorry to hear this sad news.

When Jerry served as president of Ahavath Torah Congregation, I did the monthly bulletin for the temple. One day I mentioned to Jerry that I was running out of hard disk space on my computer and that I was having trouble saving files. Without any hesitation, he went out and bought me a larger hard drive and even took the time to install it for me. That old expression about “taking the shirt of one's back” was Jerry. I will miss him. “Remember the Good Times!”

August 31, 2012

My heartfelt condolences to the Savage Family. I have known Jerry for over 25 years. Jerry was one of the most kindest and sincerest person that I have known. He was always available to reach out with a helping hand. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I am very sad to hear of Jerry's passing. He was an incredible mentor to me in my career. I still carry many of his lessons with me. His kindness and willingness to lend a hand is rare.
