Read MoreJerry, thanks for taking a chance on me as NEMC´s VP of Development. I learned what to do and what not to do in becoming a disciple of change. We raised good money and the work we did together played well when I became SVP at the Red Cross. Thank you!

One of my most vivid memories was of Jerry addressing David Trull, Peter Van Etten, Judith Kurland and me in a conference room at NEMC. Jerry Laos out some grand plan and when he left the room, the four of turned to each other as if to say I heard it. But I dont understand it - yet. Now what do we do? And that was why I went from PennMed to NEMC. Because Jerry was an innovator, a visionary, a risk taker. My guess is hes in heaven pestering God to try something new!

Very distressed to hear about Jerry. We were very friendly from grades 7-12 in Maplewood, NJ. Always admired his intellect and wry humor. I saw him at our 50th High School reunion in September for the 1st time in about 20 years, but always got word of his admirable accomplishments. Heartfelt condolensces to his family.

All of us as a society are the poorer, for not having the chance to continue benefiting from Jerry's insights.
Thank you, Jerry, for your leadership and...
