Jerome Koenig Obituary

The Bronx High School of Science Endowment Fund, Inc. notes with sadness the passing of its esteemed Treasurer and long serving Trustee, Jerome A. Koenig. Jerry was a proud alumnus of the Bronx High School of Science Class of 1950 and served on the board of the Endowment Fund since for many years. His passion for Bronx Science, devotion to the interests of its students and wise counsel to the board contributed greatly to our efforts and will be sorely missed. Our heartfelt condolences to Jerry's sister Sandy, brother Howard and partner of over 40 years, Mary Geissman.

Though we never met in all the years of our business relationship, I, along with his loved ones, friends and acquaintances, will miss our conversations and Jerry's wisdom and insight. May he rest in peace in the arms of God.

Jerry and Mary very graciously welcomed to their home some years ago when I returned part-time to New York. It was a lovely reunion and so characteristic of Jerry's loyalty to his old school. He'll be greatly missed by the Bronx Science community.
