Jerry will be missed, definitely by me, and I am very certain by so many others as well. He was a respected leader in the truck trailer industry. I will personally remember him for many things, but also because he had a good sense of humor, strong discipline and was a man of integrity. I am sadden at the loss of Jerry, a good friend and great colleague, and will always remember our times together. May God bless and provide a peace, comfort, and understanding within your family during this time.

I am very thankful to have known and worked with Jerry. I worked for Jerry for a couple of years in Hendrickson Service and we shared several sea stories from the Navy. Jerry taught me a ton about how to handle difficult situations. I will miss his smiles, hugs and occasional kicks in the backside. I am grateful for the time we spent together but am sad that there will not be more.

Jerry loved his family and I recall him telling me how much he enjoyed his daughter's wedding. Our discussion changed my outlook on my daughter's wedding from dread to enjoyment. I can't say enough, a great boss, a great patriot, a great man.
