Gerald C. McDonough

l had the pleasure of helping Jerry and Helen for over 30 years with their interior design needs. No matter how he may have felt, Jerry always greeted me with an enthusiastic "Donna, How are ya?" I would give the standard "great" answer together with and "how are you doing?" His reply" Just Dandy! I have a body of a 19 year old!" never failed to send me into a state of laughter. On a more serious side, there are very few people that I feel deserve and command respect. Jerry was on of those...

Would like to add that in his lifetime he touched so many in his loving and caring manner. I had told him many times that God needed him in heaven for many reasons but what will resonate is his VOICE. His melodical delivery of even the most "normal" of conversations added a lilt that will stay with me. While we used golf as a reason to get together, it was his friendship that was to be cherished. He added something to every day and gave so generously to so many.

I had the opportunity to work with Gerry when he was CFO and then CEO of Leaseway. He was a consummate professional, gracious gentleman, coach, mentor, and friend. A life truly well lived.

It was always a pleasure to be in the company of Jerry and Helen. My husband Jim worked at reliance with Jerry and we had very great memories of him. My condolences to all his family

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. All of your neighbors will always remember Jerry as a wonderful gentlemen with an ever present sense of humor.
