Jerry hired me as a part-time employee in 1975, when I was 16 years old. I worked at his Standard Oil (AMOCO) Service Station that was located at Jolly & Cedar and then the Logan (MLK) & Holmes location. I have very fond memories and am thankful for the three years of working for Jerry where I learned much and grew from the experience. The respect and trust that Jerry gave me, even though I was just a teenager, was amazing. I will always appreciate what he did for me.
May great memories carry you through your grief.
