Jerry was very inspirational to me with his fantastic work ethic. While working with him in Kansas City and Weston, he taught me in depth about many things in regard to being a great hotelier. I wouldn't be in the position I'm in now if it weren't for him taking a chance on me and I will never forget that. He was a wonderful man and I will miss him. My condolences go out to his family.
