Caliendo family,
Rich and I were so saddened to hear the news of Jerry's passing. We just met Jerry and Barbara through our friends Helena and John Yurconic and spent many happy hours in their presence. We remember what an awesome Trivial Pursuit team they made and will fondly remember Jerry and Barbara dancing last year at Eagle Creek's western party. Rich and Mimi Lengel

Jerry was a great boss. We had a lot of fun in his department, but we worked very hard, and accomplished a great deal which benefited PPL.
