Really sad news to hear that Mr Magner had recently passed away. I am so grateful that I was able to work for him for 10+ years at National Amusements, during which time I learned a great deal from him.
On a personal level, neither I, or my family will ever forget his kindness and patient understanding in times of need.
I offer my deepest sympathy to the family of Mr Magner.

France's, thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. Jerry was a special guy and will be missed. I was fortunate to partner with him to find a cure for type 1. With deep sympathy, Heidi Daniels
