Not sure what to say?

Dear Kreger family, Just learned of his passing today, 10-28-2010. I worked with Jerry for many years. We were the two original members of the optical inspection group on the Saturn program in New Orleans. We worked several programs together after returning to Seattle. He helped me install my first CB radio in my car back in tne CB days. What a great guy to work with even tho sometimes his story-telling interfered with the task at hand. Since retirement, we kept in touch via email. He...

An unknowing mentor to a young man that one day would use Jerry's fathering techniques as a guide in raising his own children.
You did well Jerry, congratulations on a great life.

Uncle Jerry was a good and kind man who has been a part of my family for my entire life. I'm sad to say I didn't see him much these past few years, but I remember him as a cheerful and warm presence within my family who was always ready with a "Hey Kiddo," when I walked into a room. I'm very sorry to know that he is gone, but know that he will be loved, remembered, and honored by his family for always.

To Jerry's family
I went to school with Jerry at Parkland and FPHS. He was one of my favorites.

Jerry'll be missed - the stories were a'plenty. He had the best memory for detail of what happened 'back then'. Ask him a question about his Boeing career, whether it was about a manager, a program, a location, or for that part a specific tool or hardware problem. He still remembered the fixes he made to help the program's he supported - Saturn, Space Station, IUS, ALCM, B-2 - shoot - the list goes on and on. He seemed to have been everywhere - Huntsville, Louisiana, traveling to suppliers...

I went to high school with Jerry my condolences go out to his Family.
