Jerry was awesome leader. Definitely have thought him over the years after I moved back to Michigan. Always looked up to him and missed! My condolences to his family.

Jerry was the father figure I wish I always had. After I had moved to Chicago and was eventually laid off at the Pioneer Press newspapers, the very next day he came to me, a glimmer in his eye, and said, "Good. You can come work for me now."
How does one turn that down.
I miss you with much love.

There are so many, running around London before the Bears game in 2011. We went to Audley House, Holland and Holland and the Apple store, saw Wellington's monument, then spent some time buying Elizabeth a small change purse at an exclusive luggage atelier. Miss him terribly.

My deepest condolences to the Freedman and Cohen family. Jerry was a great man and mentor to me during my many years employed at Freedman Seating Co. He had a heart of gold and always made me feel welcomed while at work and outside of work. I always remember him walking out to the plant floor with a big smile and handshake. You will be missed Sir.
