Sorry to hear of Jerry's death, it was a real shock.We went to school together, and worked together for awhile. We had kept intouch over the years, and I enjoyed his humor, always had a big laugh. I know his family will miss him greatly as I and all his friends, especially the guys that got together in Destin, Fl. each year. Rest in peace my friend.
