I remember first seeing Jerry in action as the manager of Sherwin Williams on Grand Ave. long before even knowing anyone in the Berve family. This was around 1972 or 73, I was in there buying some paint when this whirlwind of a man came from the back end with two paint cans in his hands. Setting them on the counter he cheerfully greeted some customers while giving mixing instructions to one of his employees and then diplomatically directing one of his other employees to another chore. He didn't stop or slow down with this up-tempo pace. I worked for NW Pipe at the time and I remember thinking that he had the same work ethic as my manager Dick Deade, whom I greatly admired. Maybe, I thought, there was a hole generation of people like Jerry and Dick who collectively made this country great. Jerry was part of "The Greatest Generation", and the people of later generations, which includes all of us, owe him more than we can ever know...
