I am sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. I met Jerry through David when they (we) were suite mates and later through the years as a friend. Please accept my condolences. He will be missed.

I am very saddened to hear of Jerry's passing. We met in 1990 when we were suite mates and our offices were next to each other. It was easy to quickly become friends with Jerry and although we haven't seen each other much due to geography, we always enjoyed bumping into each other from time to time. My sincere condolences to Linda, Cory, Adam and the rest of the family.

Linda, my deepest condolences on your loss. Camille has kept me apprised of Jerry's condition and my heart goes out to you and your family, as well as to Camille, who thought the world of Jerry. He also handled a case for me, and of course won, so I am ever so grateful for his legal expertise, but I am more grateful to have known him personally. He was always talking about you and his precious grandbabies, a man that loved deeply. Warmest thoughts, Meg La Rocca (Camille's sister)
