I’m very sorry to hear of your loss. Jerry was a wonderful individual with a fabulous since of humor. He will be missed by all who have met him, but most especially by his family.
I wish you all the very best. God Bless.

I grew up listening to Jumpin Jerry on KRDG and it's safe to say he had a huge influence on my choice of career. He will be sorely missed. Until we meet again, my friend.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Jerry was an amazing man-a person who could always make you smile. He was a mentor to so many of us in radio. I feel so blessed to have worked with him. To his family, my prayers are with you.

Jerry will be greatly missed. The Radio industry lost a legend. His family and friends lost one as well.

The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear. We share your grief.
