I met Jerry through our service work at his home. Over the past 10 years I looked forward to talking to him every season and we would pick up our conversations like no time at all had passed by. It was almost as if God and planned on our paths crossing in life. My 60 year old father had bladder cancer & passed in May and Jerry and I spoke about the relationships of a father and their children. It was evident that he cared tremendously for his family. Like everyone else, I will miss Jerry and I feel so blessed to have known him. I have faith that I will talk to him again in the Kingdom of Heaven.

When Jerry became The Ohio Power Company, Steubenville Division, Division Superintendent around the mid-1980's, I was Division Meter Supervisor. Jerry helped to guide us through what was to be the beginning of many changes in the Transmission and Distribution Department at The Ohio Power Company. Jerry was very patient with me, as we went through these turbulent times. Thank You, Jerry! May God Bless You. Rest In Peace.

I knew Jerry from his years at TCR Personal Computers. He was always a freindly and positive man. I am glad to have known him.
