GERALD K. HINCH

My condolences to Jerrys family and I know this is 8 years past. I met Jerry years ago (1998) when we both participated in an Urban League Black Executive Exchange Program (BEEP) event at Howard University.

Dear Jan and the Hinch Family. We are the family of Lawrence A. Landry, a long time friend of Jerry's from the days in Chicago, IL. Lawrence passed away almost 15 years ago, but we remember the family friendship that he, Jerry and your family shared for many years. We send you our sincere condolences and hope that the cherished memories help during this time of mourning. The Lawrence A. Landry Family - Dolores, Jennifer {now with three daughters of her own}, and Michael

Although Gerry & I haven't crossed paths for 30 years, I remember his decency in dealing with people at all levels, his great pride in the Federal Service, and his thoughtfulness with his friends.

Dear Jan and Family,
I owe much to my professional development and growth to Mr. Hinch having served as one of his senior managers at VA for many years and prior to that at OPM. He gave me great opportunities that I can now pass on to those I now seve and mentor. Always remember that his impact was far reaching.

I treasured Jerry's friendship.

So sorry for your loss.
