Gerry's career at WCC was an example to all of us...his dedication to the school and its students...without bounds...and, a real Democrat, too....

I worked with Jerry on different projects connected with the Intercooperative Council at U-M. Jerry was an exemplar of the Greatest generation--hard-working, reliable, didn't make a fuss, wasn't looking for praise. He was involved in so many good causes, and I'm glad the U-M coops--affordable living, progressive, communal--was one of them. I hope his family finds comfort in the good he did,

What a wonderful person and what a giving if not profound life. A rare, quiet and humble person who will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to the family at this time.
