Mare and Family, So sorry to hear about Jerry. We worked together for many years. I considered him a true friend. When I took another job and was no longer working with Jerry he stopped by my home to see how I was doing. We talked and he told me about his illness. Never did I think that Jerry could not beat it.

Monnalou and I would like to offer our condolences on the passing of your Father. Remember the good memories of him and that will get you through the difficult times. He was certainly too young to be taken from you, but know that he is sitting with the Lord today and looking down on you and your Family. Just knowing this should bring some comfort to you and your Family. We will keep you all in our prayers.

Marion and Family, I was so saddened when I heard that Jerry had passed. He has been a great friend of mine for over 25 years. Most recently while he worked for Value Drug our paths crossed often as we shared the same industry. He was loved by many and will be missed. He was a great guy. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

When I read about this I was shocked and saddened. Mr. Benson (as I called him) was always kind, good spirited and always had a smile on his face. I remember when my twins were young he would always stop by and talk to them. Everyone in the Benson family is in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless

To the Benson family,
Over the past couple of months I had the honor to work with Jerry on my new pharmacy. I met Jerry at Starbucks so we can go over the Value program....He didn't explain it well and I had more doubts about it, but during the meeting I can tell Jerry was a real down to earth, honest, hardworking person that would never steer me wrong. He looked me in the eye and I trusted him with my future as an independent pharmacist. I trusted him with my livelihood. We met a few...
