Jerry was one of a kind and very dear to our hearts. No one will be able to fill his shoes in the same charming and yet stubborn way. When I am unsure of a situation at work, I ask myself, "What would Jerry do?"
He is greatly missed.

I was talking to some friends on Monday about what a great guy Jerry was and was going to give him a call. I did not realize his days were so numbered. He was a good friend to Whitford and he was always a gentleman to me. May his pain be over now. He will be sorely missed.
Best regards
