I´ve worked with Jerry for many years. He was always very helpful, and truly cared about helping newer employees. My son and Jerry´s son played baseball around the same time when they were kids. So we always shared conversations about their games.
He was so passionate about his children´s success. Truly heartbreaking to hear of his passing. My prayers will be with his family.
