This is very sad news. Jerry was a great boss and an even better friend. I worked for him at Sioux City Magazine in the late 70s. We had lost touch in the last 20 plus years but I often thought about him and Patty. Can only imagine how he loved living in California and golfing year round. He had a wonderful sense of humor and pleasant, caring outlook on the world around him. I learned so much about getting along in the working world from Jerry. You will be missed always. May he rest in eternal peace. God Bless.
