Jerry TRAINER

For almost 92 years, Jerry Trainer always had a book on the go. This lifetime of literary exploration had given him a rich vocabulary, a profound zest for life and strong, informed opinions tempered by an open mind and an irrepressible desire to learn. True to his Irish blood, Jerry also loved to tell stories, and that's probably our greatest shared memory of him. Jerry passed away on March 19, 2024. He is greatly missed, and he is mourned and fondly remembered by family and friends. His beloved wife, Leona, predeceased him. "When I enter God's house tonight, I shall wave one thing in salutation, across heaven's blue threshold. For there is one thing I have left, void of smear or stain, and I take it with me despite you. My panache!" – Cyrano de Bergerac, Act V, Scene VI
