Jerry was the best travelling companion imaginable and a wonderful friend. I have many memories of him at both Harris and MAN Roland, and especially our visits to Canada to PLM. There was never a subject that Jerry could not discuss intelligently or a wine he did not know.

Sandra and I send our condolences and will remember him in our prayers.
