My deepest sympathy and condolences to Jo and the family for you loss.

my experience with Jerry was professional. I enjoyed working with him because of his humor and intelligence when dealing with serious problems. His contribution with Tamin's board of directors was priceless. I will miss him.

Jerry your words, wit and wisdom will be missed. I want to thank you for all your hard work and care for coast side preservation and especially for your insight in drafting the bi-laws for the Mid-Coast Community Council. I will miss your presence at the HMB 4th of July Parade where I could always count on your smile and good cheer. To your wife, Jo and son, Olin, my family sends its heartfelt condolences.
