Not sure what to say?

I remember Jerry as a kind hearted and soft spoken leader, he was known for his integrity and as a true leader of people.

I was very fortunate to have worked with and for Jerry. He was all about integrity, hard work, kindness, and mentoring people. I miss him.

Jerry was a very good boss at Chair Plant of Steelcase.

So sorry to Jerry's family he was very nice at Steelcase great man to see at work.

Jerry was a good friend and boss. Loved to fish. Last saw him at Bob Hoogterps funeral. Really great guy.

Jerry was a plant manager at "The Case". A truly respected gentleman. He always took the time to address whatever issues were presented to him. He was respected by his peers and subornates alike. My sympathies to his family..

My heart felt condolences to the family. My late husband Bob and I shared many business trips with him and Marilyn through Europe and around the United States. Always such a good natured gentleman. He will be missed by many.

Prayers for the family on your loss. I have many good memories from working, fishing and snowmobiling with Jerry. So sad to lose him. I will keep the memories alive by the pictures from many trips.
