Jerry A. Wald

I think of Jerry often. He was a great teacher and problem solver with a super sense of humor. He is missed.

I will surely miss Jerry. He taught me many things. He would always ask me if I didn't complete a task if I had slept last night. I learned to anticipate his question and would answer I haven't slept in days. He also taught me fairness. He would harass me on a constant basis about finishing my education at PMT presentations. My response was as soon as Test Engineering would support me in going to school. I was unable to finish my degree at UCF because of their lack of flexibility in...

I am so sorry to learn of Jerry's passing. I worked with and for Jerry in the 80's and 90's. Jerry did his job extremely well, with honesty, frankness and feedback that made me a better engineer and manager. Although Jerry was focused and hard driving, the work environment he created made these some of the best years of my professional career. I have and will continue to think of Jerry often; he is greatly missed.

I am so sorry to hear about Jerry's passing. I was sent to work for Jerry a few years back by Don Harding. After the interview with Jerry, Don asked what I thought about what Jerry wanted me to do.

I started my Career at Martin Marietta in '84. Jerry was the Test Enginering Manager at that time and it was a great pleasure to know and work with him. Throughout the years his name comes up often and this will continue, always with fond memories.
I am sorry for your loss and hope you find peace in knowing how many lives Jerry has touched.

Maria, I am sorry to hear of your loss. Jerry interviewed me in Virginia and was responsible for my career in Test Engineering. He was a good man.

Maria, I am very sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. He was my supervisor here at LM for many years. From him I recieved much valuable advice. I will remember him and you in my pryers at the Adoration Chapel.

Maria,

I am so sorry to learn about Jerry's passing. He was an excellent mentor and friend for many years at Lockheed and after his retirement. I still quote him and tell some of his great stories and lessons today. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family.

Maria,
I was sorry to hear about Jerry, I worked with Jerry in Bldg 87K at Lockheed Martin. I always admired his witty sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
