Not sure what to say?

Jane, Chris and Family. So sorry to hear about Jerry. Always enjoyed talking with him at Kersh Standard and the guys. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you! The Putrich's

Worked for and with Jerry for several years at Caterpillar’s Mapleton foundry. Enjoyed playing cards with him at Trivoli firemen annual fish fry and at Kersh’s morning club after we retired. Will miss Jerry- great guy

Norma, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. We will miss Jerry at our FCHS class of 1957 reunions.

JERRY WAS ONE OF MY TRUSTEES FOR MANY YEARS AND WAS ALWAYS SUPPORTIVE OF ICC AND OUR STUDENTS. NOT ONLY WAS JERRY A PERSON I COULD ALWAYS COUNT ON HIS WIFE NORMA BECAME A GREAT ICC SUPPORTER AS WELL. WE SPENT MANY ICC HOURS TOGETHER AND HIS LEADERSHIP IS ONE OF THE REASONS ICC IS A GREAT PLACE FOR STUDENTS. LYNN AND I EXPRESS OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO NORMA AND HIS FAMILY. MAY HE REST IN PEACE TOM AND LYNN THOMAS

Jerry usually had a wry smile on his face. He drank in the divine comedy in ways that charmed those around him. He respected and learned from everyone so by the time I met him he was a reservoir of wisdom and good advice. Thanks, Jerry, for all that you did for ICC, ICCTA and me.

Margaret and I send our heartfelt condolences to Norma and Jerry's family. Jerry was a lifetime friend of mine since grade school in Farmington. We shared memorable experiences over the years and in recent years gathered with high school friends and Norma to continue those bonds of friendship, even as I settled in New York. Jerry will be missed and always remembered.

My thoughts & Prayers go out to Jerry & his Family at this very sad time. He served ICC with dignity & Grace while on the Board. God Bless, Ken Williams

Jerry and I worked at Caterpillar together for several years, sharing in the Caterpillar/ICC success story. Because of Jerry Caterpillar was able to add many good interns and, eventually, employees that continue careers with Caterpillar today. He may be gone, but the good he did for many will carry on.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
