Gerald Paul "Jerry" Kohanski

Rest in peace my friend.

I have missed Jerry the past year. Every time we have a Zoom call among Benedictine High 1965 alumni I think of him. I miss sharing emails with him. I catch myself thinking what would Jerry think about a news or sports item. May he Rest In Peace.

Jerry and I worked together in the 70s at Warner & Swasey. For a brief time he was my boss and a longer time my friend. Funny, smart, and kind, he wore his heart on his sleeve, and shred with us his joy when his three children were born to him and his great love, Mary. Above all, Jerry was a good man and will doubtless be sorely missed.

Jerry and I were good friends at Benedictine High and John Carroll University. Our 50th high school reunion reunited us and I am happy to have been his friend again for the past six years. We found out that we had common life experiences. We were both married in 1971. We both took our future wives to see the movie Love Story. Jerry was a good man and a great friend. May he Rest In Peace.

Jerry and I were playmates as kids and we both attended Benedictine High School. Jerry was also best man at my wedding. Although we didn´t have much contact we reconnected at the 50th Benedictine reunion. Jerry will be remembered as a good friend with a brilliant mind. Rest In Peace.
