Not sure what to say?

Jerry and I worked together at PNB/USWest/Qwest for all the time I was in IT. There was never a problem he couldn't solve or a puzzle he couldn't unravel. I learned a lot from him (normally that he was light years ahead of my first thought). He's gone way too soon.

Jerry and I worked for many years together in PNB-Qwest. Always a helpful, incredibly intelligent co-worker. Loved our occasional philosophical discussions. Sad to see he passed too young.

I´m very sorry to hear this. Jerry and I came into the company together in 1970 and were coworkers for our entire careers, sharing a joint retirement party in 2000. I always had a deep respect for Jerry´s high intelligence. A conversation with Jerry was almost always an occasion for learning something new. I´m glad I knew him.
