He is missed. He was the ideal soldier. Accomplishing difficult missions with limited resources while still caring for the troops. Everyone at the West Point Prep School (officers, NCO's, junior enlisted, civilians & cadets) looked up to him. He got things done while still maintaining his sense of humor. He was Army All The Way!

I worked with Jerry from 1996-2009 when he was with the Dining Facility at the West Point Prep School at Fort Monmouth, NJ. He always had the best interests of our soldiers at heart. He instilled a sense of pride in all who worked with him. He formed a group of volunteers that prepared holiday meals for the disadvantaged of Monmouth County. We wonder why he passed so young. Maybe God needed a good soldier and leader in a hurry. He's got one now.
