I was lucky to know Jerry. His oldest son Rick married my youngest sister Lori. Jerry Ehrman was very compassionate in his love for God and his politics. He loved his family even more.
God speed Jerry you left behind a strong group of children & grandchildren and they will miss you terribly. Join Nancy and together watch over your family from heaven.

I was fortunate to work as Jerry's secretary while he was the DuPont Plant Manager at the Memphis TN plant. Jerry was one of the nicest, most compassionate people I've known. He was a joy to know and work with and will always be remembered fondly. My sympathy goes out to Nancy and their children.
