Our condolences to Joyce and all the family. We are so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed working for Jerry at Van Dorn Demag and especially enjoyed our golf outings.

I was so sorry to learn of Jerry's death. My sincere sympathy to Joyce and his family. I was secretary for Jerry during his time at Van Dorn Demag and appreciated our time together. Interestingly enough, I, too,
have Parkinsons, having been diagnosed 12 years ago.

A very good friend and industry associate. Many wonderful trips were shared with Joyce and Jerry. He was an honorable man and will be missed by many. Joe Bergen

I worked with Jerry at Omark Industries ( later called Blount International) he was a good friend and I was proud when he called me his friend. He was a man who kept his word.
May he rest in peace. Gerry Knechtel
