Jerry was one the nicest people and one of the first staff members I met when I first started working at Penn Delco. I was always grateful for his calmness and just wanted to send my condolences. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Jerry was a good friend and great listener. In high school he shared his writing talents. I was the Editor of The Bryan Orator, our high school newspaper, and could always count on him to go above and beyond when it came to zero hour, aka deadlines. He was one of the best and I am blessed to have known him. My sincere condolences, Janet.

I went to grade school and high school with Jerry. We stayed in touch on facebook and school reunions. He was always the quiet one. My prayers and sympathy go out to his family.

Jerry was a friend at Omaha, Nebraska Bryan High School. We shared our first names I was the girl Geri with a "G" and Jeri Martin was the other girl, Jeri with a "J". He was quiet and we were not!
I am sorry to hear of his passing. I did so enjoy the children´s books that he wrote.
My prayers to his family and friends
